Configuring Kuryr SDN

Kuryr-Kubernetes and OKD integration is primarily designed for OKD clusters running on OpenStack VMs. Kuryr-Kubernetes components are installed as pods on OKD in the namespace:

The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OKD API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OKD via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as OVS and OVN as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs.

For the Kuryr SDN installation on an OpenStack cloud, you must follow the steps described in the OpenStack configuration documentation.

kuryr-cni pods run on every OKD node. Single kuryr-controller instances run on any of the nodes.
