How OpenShift SDN helps to automate
1. OpenShift SDN

2. Understand what OpenShift network benefits and how to use it
● What problem are we trying to solve?
● What are the advantages of the solution?

4. How do we do that with SDN?
Add a layer of confusion abstraction!

5. DEMO to answer the big WHY :)
* the OpenShift itself is production ready!

6. Developers can leverage existing development
tools and then access the OpenShift Web, CLI or
IDE interfaces to create new application services
and push source code via GIT. OpenShift can
also accept binary deployments or be fully
integrated with a customer’s existing CI/CD
environment.
Code
Source 2 Image Walk Through Can configure triggers for
automated deployments,
builds, and more.
7. OpenShift automates the Docker image build
process with Source-to-Image (S2I). S2I
combines source code with a corresponding
Builder image from the integrated Docker
registry. Builds can also be triggered manually or
automatically by setting a Git webhook.

Source 2 Image Walk Through Can configure triggers for
automated deployments,
builds, and more.
8. Deploy
OpenShift automates the deployment of
application containers across multiple Node
hosts via the Kubernetes scheduler. Users can
automatically trigger deployments on application
changes and do rollbacks, configure A/B
deployments & other custom deployment types.
Source 2 Image Walk Through
Can configure different
deployment strategies like
A/B, Rolling upgrade,
Automated base updates,
and more.

automated deployments,

10. Why do we need Software Defined Networking?
● Containers are designed to come and go. Networking needs automation.
● Automation allows extreme elasticity provisioning services
● HA models and automated scaling
● Locate services where they make the most sense physically

18. The technology involved
Virtual Bridge
● Open vSwitch
● Linux Bridge
Transport/Tunneling
● VxLAN
● VLAN Tagging
● UDP Encapsulation
● IP Routing
Virtual Interface
● Veth Pair
● Tap/Tun
18
Integrations for swapping to:
● F5
● Nuage
● …?
Future:
● Container Network Interface
(CNI) for plugins https://github.
com/appc/cni
19. Traffic Inside the Cluster
● Discoverability via Services
● Services available as
○ Environment Variables
○ Automatic DNS entries
● Simple round-robin-ish load balancing
● Leading the community to define flexible access control policy
19
20. 20
● HAProxy Load Balancer
● Built in to the platform
● Supports common web
traffic
● F5 BIG IP integration also
available
Getting Traffic Into the Cluster
OpenShift Router
HTTP
HTTPS TLS SNI
21. 21
● Provided by Kubernetes
● Same port on EVERY node
forwarded to service
● Can handle non-http traffic
Getting Traffic Into The Cluster
Service NodePorts
22. 22
● Ports on the host where pod
is
● Requires custom scheduling
● Can be used to write custom
ingress
● This is what the internal
router uses
Getting Traffic Into The Cluster
HostPorts/HostNetwork
23. Getting Traffic Out Of The Cluster
● Traffic is NAT’d to the host IP
● No current security policy on egress traffic
○ We are working in the community to design egress policies
23
24. OpenShift Router
● Stable (configurable) DNS name
○ We often suggest a wildcard DNS to the router
○ You can configure DNS by hand route by route
● Application scalability and mobility inside the cluster
● Protocols
○ HTTP
○ HTTPS (with SNI)
○ WebSockets
○ TLS with SNI
24
25. Troubleshooting
● Try the troubleshooting guide: https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.
1/admin_guide/sdn_troubleshooting.html
● Use plotnetcfg (dnf install plotnetcfg; or clone https://github.com/jbenc/plotnetcfg) to draw
a diagram of the networking inside a machine
● Use the same tools as with a physical cluster (except with fewer physical
cables to check)
○ ping, tcpdump, wireshark, etc.
25
26. Future directions
● We will use the the Container Network Interface (CNI) for plugins
○ https://github.com/appc/cni
○ OpenShift SDN will be reimplemented as a CNI plugin
○ Why? More feature complete plugin interface
○ Hopefully there will be more networking plugins available
● Check out the OpenShift Networking board:
○ https://trello.com/b/TV5P9gKe/networking
26
27. OpenStack integrations (future)
● LDAP unified user management (Keystone + OSE)
● Floating IP and Firewall to help with public traffic
● HEAT + ansible installer
● Cinder Block Storage as persistent storage *
● VLAN aware VLANS will possibly help unifying networks*

28. Conclusion
● Don’t be afraid of SDN
● It’s the same concepts as a physical network
● Virtualizing the components bring many benefits
● There are some costs, but most can be worked around, if needed
