Deployment Models
SUMMARY Learn about the different ways you can deploy CN2 on Amazon EKS.
Single Cluster Deployment
Cloud-Native Contrail Networking (CN2) is available as an integrated networking platform in a single Kubernetes cluster, watching where workloads are instantiated and connecting those workloads to the appropriate overlay networks.
In a single-cluster deployment on Amazon EKS, the Contrail controller sits in chosen worker nodes and provides the network configuration and network control planes for the host cluster. The Contrail data plane components sit in all worker nodes and provide the packet send and receive function for the workloads.
Multi-Cluster Deployment
In a multi-cluster deployment, the Contrail controller resides in its own cluster and provides networking to other clusters.
CN2 does not support multi-cluster deployment on an Amazon EKS cluster.
