Fast

Fast is a Kubernetes CNI based on eBPF implementation. At present, the following two capabilities have been realized:

  • Network basic connectivity based on eBPF
  • Manage cluster containers' IP address

Architecture

fast

Components:

  • fast-cni
    • implement CNI capabilities
    • access fast-agent fetch pod IP and store to the node local eBPF map
    • attach eBPF program to NIC
  • fast-agent
    • the interface that implements IP allocation
    • obtain the cluster pod IP and store the information to the cluster eBPF map
    • init eBPF map
  • fast-controller-manager
    • custom resources control
    • gc management to prevent IP leakage
  • fast-ctl
    • node command tool for eBPF map

Quick Start

Single-cluster IPAM

In overlay scenario, fix the IP address of cluster containers

  1. Create ips

    cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
    apiVersion: sample.fast.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Ips
    metadata:
      name: sample-ips
    spec:
      subnet: 10.244.0.1/32
      ips:
        - 10.244.10.0-10.244.90.0
    EOF
    
  2. Create a deployment and associate it with ips via annotations

    cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: busybox
    spec:
      replicas: 2
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: busybox
      template:
        metadata:
          annotations:
            fast.io/ips: sample-ips
          labels:
            app: busybox
        spec:
          containers:
            - name: busybox
              image: busybox:latest
              imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
              command:
                - sleep
                - "10000"
              ports:
                - name: http
                  containerPort: 80
                  protocol: TCP
    EOF
    
  3. View the IP address of the container

    The IP address of the container is fixed in the range defined by the ips

    [root@york-master ~]# kubectl get po -o wide
    NAME                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE   IP            NODE          NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES
    busybox-757455cf7-4p9fq   1/1     Running   0          4s    10.244.10.1   10-29-15-49   <none>           <none>
    busybox-757455cf7-f5lr9   1/1     Running   0          4s    10.244.10.0   10-29-15-50   <none>           <none>
    

Network connectivity test

  1. Create another application

    cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
    apiVersion: sample.fast.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Ips
    metadata:
      name: default-ips
    spec:
      subnet: 10.244.0.1/32
      ips:
        - 10.244.100.0-10.244.200.250
    ---
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: busybox1
    spec:
      replicas: 2
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: busybox1
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: busybox1
        spec:
          containers:
            - name: busybox1
              image: busybox:latest
              imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
              command:
                - sleep
                - "10000"
              ports:
                - name: http
                  containerPort: 80
                  protocol: TCP
    EOF
    

    Once created, there are four containers

    [root@york-master ~]# kubectl get po -o wide
    NAME                        READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE     IP             NODE          NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES
    busybox-757455cf7-4p9fq     1/1     Running   0          2m11s   10.244.10.1    10-29-15-49   <none>           <none>
    busybox-757455cf7-f5lr9     1/1     Running   0          2m11s   10.244.10.0    10-29-15-50   <none>           <none>
    busybox1-5f98488b8d-2xc49   1/1     Running   0          10s     10.244.100.0   10-29-15-50   <none>           <none>
    busybox1-5f98488b8d-v42dq   1/1     Running   0          10s     10.244.100.1   10-29-15-49   <none>           <none>
    
  2. Same node container network connection

    You can see that the network is reachable

    [root@york-master ~]# kubectl exec -it busybox-757455cf7-4p9fq -- ping 10.244.100.1
    PING 10.244.100.1 (10.244.100.1): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.398 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.1: seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.117 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.1: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.098 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.1: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.111 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.1: seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.111 ms
    ^C

    5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max = 0.098/0.167/0.398 ms
    
  3. Different nodes container network connection

    You can see that the network is reachable too

    [root@york-master ~]# kubectl exec -it busybox-757455cf7-4p9fq -- ping 10.244.100.0
    PING 10.244.100.0 (10.244.100.0): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.0: seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.029 ms

    64 bytes from 10.244.100.0: seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.614 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.0: seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.522 ms
    64 bytes from 10.244.100.0: seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.704 ms
    ^C
    --- 10.244.100.0 ping statistics ---
    5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max = 0.522/0.692/1.029 ms
