Configuring hybrid networking

    You can configure your cluster to use hybrid networking with OVN-Kubernetes. This allows a hybrid cluster that supports different node networking configurations. For example, this is necessary to run both Linux and Windows nodes in a cluster.

    Prerequisites

    • You defined for the networking.networkType parameter in the install-config.yaml file. See the installation documentation for configuring OKD network customizations on your chosen cloud provider for more information.

    Procedure

    1. Create a stub manifest file for the advanced network configuration that is named in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory:

      where:

      <installation_directory>

      Specifies the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster.

    2. Open the cluster-network-03-config.yml file in an editor and configure OVN-Kubernetes with hybrid networking, such as in the following example:

    3. Save the cluster-network-03-config.yml file and quit the text editor.

    Complete any further installation configurations, and then create your cluster. Hybrid networking is enabled when the installation process is finished.
