Application Defined Networks

Overview

Control plane for Application Defined Networks (ADN).

Details are available in our whitepaper and talk

Requirements

• Kubernetes and Docker
  • Run . ./utils/k8s_setup.sh to install Kubernetes via kubeadm. (Note - this script is only tested on Ubuntu 20.04.)
  • You can use KIND to get a local cluster for testing
• Go (Ideally 1.19+)

Install the CLI

adnctl is a command line program to manage the ADN control plane.

To install the CLI, run

. ./install.sh

Once installed, verify the CLI is running correctly with:

adnctl version

Running on the cluster

1. Install Instances of Custom Resources:

kubectl apply -f config/samples/

2. Build and push your image to the location specified by IMG:

make docker-build docker-push IMG=xzhu0027/app-defined-networks:latest

3. Deploy the controller to the cluster with the image specified by IMG:

make deploy IMG=xzhu0027/app-defined-networks:latest

Uninstall CRDs

To delete the CRDs from the cluster:

make uninstall

Undeploy controller

UnDeploy the controller from the cluster:

make undeploy

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern.

It uses Controllers, which provides a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources until the desired state is reached on the cluster.

Test It Out

1. Install the CRDs into the cluster:

make install

2. Run your controller (this will run in the foreground, so switch to a new terminal if you want to leave it running):

make run

NOTE: You can also run this in one step by running: make install run

Modifying the API definitions

If you are editing the API definitions, generate the manifests such as CRs or CRDs using:

make manifests

NOTE: Run make --help for more information on all potential make targets
