This CNI plugin was created by LeanNet in order to further popularize Open vSwitch based container cluster networking.

This simple pluging connects containers / pods directly to an OVS bridge called br0, which eliminates the usage of any Linux Bridge, and opens up the possiblities for high-level software defined networking.

Currently we run the plugin as a native script on Kuberentes hosts. Later releases will include Docker format. But for now, in order to install do this:

$ apt install -y openvswitch python3 python3-pip
$ pip3 install netifaces
$ cp lean_plugin /opt/cni/bin/lean_plugin
$ cp etc/cni/net.d/mynet.conf /etc/cni/net.d/mynet.conf

Modify the mynet.conf file at every host in order to give IP addresses from a different subnet!

Happy coding :-)
