In order to provide simple topology coding flexibility and +extensibility container orchestration is done with `Kubernetes +<https://github.com/kubernetes>`_ using `Docker +<https://github.com/docker>`_ images for all container applications +including VPP. `Ligato <https://github.com/ligato>`_ is used for the +Pod/Container networking orchestration that is integrated with K8s, +including memif support. + +In these tests VPP vswitch runs in a K8s Pod with Docker Container (DRC) +handling NIC interfaces and connecting over memif to more instances of +VPP running in Pods/DRCs. All DRCs run in a priviliged mode with VPP +data plane worker threads pinned to dedicated physical CPU cores per +usual CSIT practice. All VPP instances run the same version of software. +This test topology is equivalent to existing tests with vhost-user and +VMs as described earlier in :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. + +Further documentation is available in +:ref:`container_orchestration_in_csit`. |
