The 1Kube-OVN Community edition V1.3 update supports container network hardware acceleration, custom gateways, gateway Qos and much more

Kube-ovn supports intelligent network interface card (INIC) -based hardware acceleration, which significantly improves container network throughput, reduces network latency, and reduces host CPU consumption, resulting in significantly improved performance and resource utilization in bare metal scenarios. At the same time, the community version OF V1.3 added the gateway function, users can customize THE Pod routing policy to select a specific Pod in the cluster as the traffic gateway and customize the gateway function development, such as EIP, accounting, audit and other functions. In addition, the gateway adds the QoS control function so that users can dynamically adjust the total external bandwidth of the same subnet.

2. Launch kuBE-OVN Enterprise edition to improve its functions and services based on the needs of enterprise users

Since open source, Kube-OVN has attracted the attention of a large number of developers and users, and has been put into use in several projects and practical environments. With the adoption of carrier-class customers and the increase of enterprise users, kuBE-OVN has also become more focused on stability, security, ease of deployment and other features in the version change. Therefore, based on the kuBE-OVN community edition, kuBE-OVN Enterprise edition is timely. Differences in network functions, network operation and maintenance, network security, and technical support are as follows:

Community Edition Enterprise edition

Network function • Single-cluster container network

• IPtables gateway

• Single-cluster container network

• IPtables gateway

• Pod EIP

• Multiple clusters communicate with each other on the container network

•OVN high-performance gateway

• Intelligent network interface card (inic) support

Network o&M • Command line tools

• Basic connectivity metrics

• Control plane status indicators

• Command line tools

• Basic connectivity metrics

• Control plane status indicators

• Performance monitoring indicators

• Traffic statistics

• Network exception indicators

• Large panel

Network security • With the community 2-3 months unified release

• Maintain the latest release security and bug-related issues

• Official subscriptions, security and bug-related fixes will be promoted as soon as possible

• Long-term support for user versions

• Customize upgrade solution policies

• Control plane TLS encryption

• Network traffic encryption

Technical support • Community support

• Open technology classes

• Community support

• Open technology classes

• 5*8 technical support from original experts

1. For multi-cluster and federated scenarios in the enterprise scenario, expand the container network from single-cluster container network to multi-cluster container network. The container network can communicate with each other across clusters, providing more flexible networking control.

2. To solve the performance problem of large-scale cluster, OVN built-in gateway is used instead of Iptables to greatly improve gateway throughput capacity and provide gateway-based container EIP capability.

3. Integrate with the Mellanox intelligent network interface card (INIC) vendor to improve the bare metal performance and reduce the CPU consumption of physical machines.

4. More monitoring indicators can be integrated, and third-party Spruce network DeepFlow network monitoring system can be connected to improve the visualization ability of container network, and faster fault location, traffic statistics, and performance analysis.

5. Late-stage operation and maintenance support, service and product capabilities are equally important. Timely and professional technical support can help enterprise users who pay attention to safety and stability to minimize problems. Kube-ovn Enterprise edition will provide official subscriptions for updates, patches, installation and tuning. Provide a smooth problem feedback channel, the original expert team to support the after-sales service, and the response time (SLA) is optional, to meet different levels of enterprise needs. ** 3 KuBE-OVN Enterprise Is now offering a limited time free trial **

In fact, the community edition and the Enterprise edition are symbiotic.
