AKS networking
Networking forms a core component within a Kubernetes cluster. The master components should be able to reach the minion nodes and the Pods running on top of them, while the worker nodes should be able to communicate among themselves as well as with the master components.
It might come as a surprise that core Kubernetes does not manage the networking stack at all. It is the job of the container runtime on the nodes.
Kubernetes has prescribed three important tenets that any container runtime should adhere to. These are as follows:
- Pods should be able to communicate with other Pods without any transformation in their source or destination addresses, something that is performed using network address translation (NAT).
- Agents such as kubelets should be able to communicate with Pods directly on the nodes.
- Pods that are directly hosted on the host network still should be able to communicate with all Pods in the cluster.
Every Pod gets a unique IP...
