 FEATURES

## The most advanced Kubernetes feature set

Kube-OVN integrates the OVN-based Network Virtualization with Kubernetes. It offers an advanced Container Network Fabric that is feature rich and enterprise friendly.

#### Static IP Addresses

Allocates random or static IP addresses to workloads.

#### VPC Support

Supports multi-tenant networking with overlapped IP address spaces.

#### Pod NAT and EIP

Manages the Pod external traffic and IP addresses like traditional VMs.

#### Subnet Isolation

Denies traffic from IP addresses not within the same Subnet. Allow-lists specific IP addresses or IP ranges.

#### Namespaced Subnets

Each Namespace can have a unique Subnet (backed by a Logical Switch).

#### Underlay Support

Supports underlay and Vlan mode for better performance and direct connectivity with the physical network.

#### Dual Stack

Supports IPv4-only, IPv6-only or dual stack mode for Pods.

#### Multi-Cluster Networking

Connects different clusters into one L3 network.

#### Network Policy

Implements the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy API using OVN ACLs.

#### Dynamic QoS

Supports Pod/Gateway Ingress/Egress rate limits configuration on the fly.

#### Traffic Mirror

Duplicates container network traffic for monitoring, diagnosis and replays.

#### Cilium Integration

Integrates Cilium for advanced security and observability.
