    Networking Considerations for Distributed Deployment of Libvirt/KVM-Based OCP Clusters

    In previous blog posts, we have learned about the OCP on Libvirt project and the benefits it brings to us, with regards to the flexible deployment of OCP clusters where the nodes are virtual machines deployed on KVM. However, we have only covered the case of one single physical server. Can we use multiple physical servers to set up a lab with multiple, distributed deployment on Libvirt-based OCP clusters? The answer is yes! And we will explain the main requirements and challenges in terms of networking in this blog post.

    Troubleshoot pod traffic with nsenter and tcpdump tools

    When a pod fails to contact another network resource, logs might provide some hints, but sometimes the ultimate evidence of what is happening can be seen from a tcpdump packet capture; however, not all pods have tcpdump tools or even a shell to interact with. This blog post demonstrates how to use certain tools available in OpenShift and GNU/Linux to overcome those challenges and use tcpdump to validate network traffic in pods deployed on top of OpenShift clusters.
