What is the network soln for Kubernetes in docker for Windows

Question

Kubernetes has many networking solutions. I'm using Kubernetes installed from docker-for-windows and I cannot figure out what networking solution is applied out of the box.

Answer 1

Out of the box is a work in progress as of this writing, you'll have to configure your own. For example ToR (Top of the rack). The solutions are described here.

Basically, this:

• Upstream L3 Routing - IP routes configured in upstream ToR
• Host-Gateway - IP routes configured on each host
• Open vSwitch (OVS) & Open Virtual Network (OVN) with Overlay - overlay networks (supports STT and Geneve tunneling types)
• Overlay - VXLAN or IP-in-IP encapsulation using Flannel
• Layer-3 Routing with BGP (Calico)
