Open Stack

Hi Liping,

Thank you for the feedback!

Do you mean to have disabled security groups as an optional configuration for Kuryr?
Do you have any opinion on the consequences/acceptability of disabling SG?

Regards,
Gary

Hi Ivan，

It sounds cool！

for security group and allowed address pair，
Maybe we can disable port-security，because all the docker in one vm will share one security group on the vm port. I'm not sure how to use sg for each docker，maybe just disable port-security can be one of the choice. then do not need allowed address pairs in this case.

Overview
Kuryr proposes to address the issues of double encapsulation and exposure of containers as neutron entities when containers are running within VMs.
As an alternative to the vlan-aware-vms and use of ovs within the VM, we propose to:

-          Use allowed-address-pairs configuration for the VM neutron port

-          Use IPVLAN for wiring the Containers within VM

In this way:

-          Achieve efficient data path to container within VM

-          Better leverage OpenStack EPA(Enhanced Platform Awareness) features to accelerate the data path (more details below)

-          Mitigate the risk of vlan-aware-vms not making neutron in time

-          Provide a solution that works on existing and previous openstack releases

This work should be done in a way permitting the user to optionally select this feature.


Required Changes
The four main changes we have identified in the current kuryr codebase are as follows:

*         Introduce an option of enabling “IPVLAN in VM” use case. This can be achieved by using a config file option or possibly passing a command line argument. The IPVLAN master interface must also be identified.

*         If using “IPVLAN in VM” use case, Kuryr should no longer create a new port in Neutron or the associated VEth pairs. Instead, Kuryr will create a new IPVLAN slave interface on top of the VM’s master interface and pass this slave interface to the Container netns.

*         If using “IPVLAN in VM” use case, the VM’s port ID needs to be identified so we can associate the additional IPVLAN addresses with the port. This can be achieved by querying Neutron’s show-port function and passing the VMs IP address.

*         If using “IPVLAN in VM” use case, Kuryr should associate the additional IPVLAN addresses with the VMs port. This can be achieved using Neutron’s allowed-address-pairs flag in the port-update function. We intend to make use of Kuryr’s existing IPAM functionality to request these IPs from Neutron.

Asks
We wish to discuss the pros and cons.
For example, containers exposure as proper neutron entities and the utility of neutron’s allowed-address-pairs is not yet well understood.

We also wish to understand if this approach is acceptable for kuryr?


EPA
The Enhanced Platform Awareness initiative is a continuous program to enable fine-tuning of the platform for virtualized network functions.
This is done by exposing the processor and platform capabilities through the management and orchestration layers.
When a virtual network function is instantiated by an Enhanced Platform Awareness enabled orchestrator, the application requirements can be more efficiently matched with the platform capabilities.
