+SRIOV CNI with PF Mode Deployment on Arm Server
+===============================================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+This document gives a brief introduction on how to deploy SRIOV CNI with PF mode for data plane.
+
+Introduction
+============

+.. _Multus: https://github.com/Intel-Corp/multus-cni

+
+
+As we know, in some cases we need to deploy multiple network interfaces
+with data-plane acceration for single Pod.
+Typically, in production area(5G, Edge computing),
+one interface we used for control plane, it usually will be flannel.
+For data plane, sriov cni + DPDK has the best throughput and the lowest lantency.
+In this case, I will introduce sriov cni with PF mode firstly.
+SRIOV with PF mode is always used in Edge computing.
+Because sriov NIC is not so common on Edge computing.
+And also PF mode is used as vFirewall, vPorxy in data center.
+
+NIC with SR-IOV capabilities works by introducing the idea of physical functions (PFs)
+and virtual functions (VFs).
+In general, PF is used by host.
+Each VFs can be treated as a separate physical NIC and assigned to one container,
+and configured with separate MAC, VLAN and IP, etc.
+If we want the best networking performance for Pods, this should be the best solution.
+
+For demo purpose, I suggest that we use Kubeadm to deploy a Kubernetes cluster firstly.
+Then I will give out a typical deployment scenario with SRIOV data plane interface added.
+
+
+Use Case Architecture
+=====================
+
+Kubelet is responsible for establishing the network interfaces for each pod;
+it does this by invoking its configured CNI plugin.
+When Multus is invoked, it recovers pod annotations related to Multus,
+in turn, then it uses these annotations to recover a Kubernetes custom resource definition (CRD),
+which is an object that informs which plugins to invoke
+and the configuration needing to be passed to them.
+
+Basic Information about Environment
+===================================
+
+Cluster Info
+
+In this case, we deploy master and slave as one node.
+Suppose it to be: 192.168.1.2
+
+In 192.168.1.2, 2 NIC as required.
+Suppose it to be: eth0, eth1, eth0 is used to be controle plane, and eth1 is used to be data plane.
+
+Deploy Kubernetes
+-----------------
+Please see link(https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/) as reference.
+
+
+Rbac Added (optional)
+---------------------
+Please make sure that rbac was added for Kubernetes cluster.
+here we name it as rbac.yaml:
+
+::
+ apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
+ kind: ClusterRoleBinding
+ metadata:
+ name: fabric8-rbac
+ subjects:
+ - kind: ServiceAccount
+ # Reference to upper's `metadata.name`
+ name: default
+ # Reference to upper's `metadata.namespace`
+ namespace: default
+ roleRef:
+ kind: ClusterRole
+ name: cluster-admin
+ apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
+
+command:
+
+::
+ kubectl create -f rbac.yaml
+
+Creat CRD
+---------
+Please make sure that CRD was added for Kubernetes cluster.
+Here we name it as crdnetwork.yaml:
+
+::
+ apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
+ kind: CustomResourceDefinition
+ metadata:
+ # name must match the spec fields below, and be in the form: <plural>.<group>
+ name: networks.kubernetes.com
+ spec:
+ # group name to use for REST API: /apis/<group>/<version>
+ group: kubernetes.com
+ # version name to use for REST API: /apis/<group>/<version>
+ version: v1
+ # either Namespaced or Cluster
+ scope: Namespaced
+ names:
+ # plural name to be used in the URL: /apis/<group>/<version>/<plural>
+ plural: networks
+ # singular name to be used as an alias on the CLI and for display
+ singular: network
+ # kind is normally the CamelCased singular type. Your resource manifests use this.
+ kind: Network
+ # shortNames allow shorter string to match your resource on the CLI
+ shortNames:
+ - net
+
+command:
+
+::
+ kubectl create -f crdnetwork.yaml
+
+Create Flannel-network for Control Plane
+----------------------------------------
+Create flannel network as control plane.
+Here we name it as flannel-network.yaml:
+
+::
+ apiVersion: "kubernetes.com/v1"
+ kind: Network
+ metadata:
+ name: flannel-conf
+ plugin: flannel
+ args: '[
+ {
+ "masterplugin": true,
+ "delegate": {
+ "isDefaultGateway": true
+ }
+ }
+ ]'
+
+command:
+
+::
+ kubectl create -f flannel-network.yaml
+
+Create Sriov-network for Data Plane
+-----------------------------------
+Create sriov network with PF mode as data plane.
+Here we name it as sriov-network.yaml:
+
+::
+ apiVersion: "kubernetes.com/v1"
+ kind: Network
+ metadata:
+ name: sriov-conf
+ plugin: sriov
+ args: '[
+ {
+ "master": "eth1",
+ "pfOnly": true,
+ "ipam": {
+ "type": "host-local",
+ "subnet": "192.168.123.0/24",
+ "rangeStart": "192.168.123.2",
+ "rangeEnd": "192.168.123.10",
+ "routes": [
+ { "dst": "0.0.0.0/0" }
+ ],
+ "gateway": "192.168.123.1"
+ }
+ }
+ ]'
+
+command:
+
+::
+ kubectl create -f sriov-network.yaml
+
+CNI Installation
+================
+.. _CNI: https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins
+Firstly, we should deploy all CNI plugins. The build process is following:
+
+
+::
+ git clone https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins.git
+ cd plugins
+ ./build.sh
+ cp bin/* /opt/cni/bin
+
+.. _Multus: https://github.com/Intel-Corp/multus-cni
+
+To deploy control plane and data plane interfaces, besides the Flannel CNI and SRIOV CNI,
+we need to deploy the Multus_. The build process of it is as:
+
+::
+ git clone https://github.com/Intel-Corp/multus-cni.git
+ cd multus-cni
+ ./build
+ cp bin/multus /opt/cni/bin
+
+To use the Multus_ CNI,
+we should put the Multus CNI binary to /opt/cni/bin/ where the Flannel CNI and SRIOV
+CNIs are put.
+
+.. _SRIOV: https://github.com/hustcat/sriov-cni
+The build process of it is as:
+
+::
+ git clone https://github.com/hustcat/sriov-cni.git
+ cd sriov-cni
+ ./build
+ cp bin/* /opt/cni/bin
+
+CNI Configuration
+=================
+The following multus CNI configuration is located in /etc/cni/net.d/, here we name it
+as multus-cni.conf:
+
+::
+ {
+ "name": "minion-cni-network",
+ "type": "multus",
+ "kubeconfig": "/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf",
+ "delegates": [{
+ "type": "flannel",
+ "masterplugin": true,
+ "delegate": {
+ "isDefaultGateway": true
+ }
+ }]
+ }
+
+command:
+
+::
+ step1, remove all files in /etc/cni/net.d/
+ rm /etc/cni/net.d/* -rf
+
+ step2, copy /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf into each nodes.
+
+ step3, copy multus-cni.conf into /etc/cni/net.d/
+
+ step4, restart kubelet
+ systemctl restart kubelet
+
+
+Configuring Pod with Control Plane and Data Plane
+=================================================
+
+1, Save the below following YAML to pod-sriov.yaml.
+In this case flannle-conf network object act as the primary network.
+
+::
+ apiVersion: v1
+ kind: Pod
+ metadata:
+ name: pod-sriov
+ annotations:
+ networks: '[
+ { "name": "flannel-conf" },
+ { "name": "sriov-conf" }
+ ]'
+ spec: # specification of the pod's contents
+ containers:
+ - name: pod-sriov
+ image: "busybox"
+ command: ["top"]
+ stdin: true
+ tty: true
+
+2, Create Pod
+
+::
+ command:
+ kubectl create -f pod-sriov.yaml
+
+3, Get the details of the running pod from the master
+
+::
+ # kubectl get pods
+ NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
+ pod-sriov 1/1 Running 0 30s
+
+Verifying Pod Network
+=====================
+
+::
+ # kubectl exec pod-sriov -- ip a
+ 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000
+ link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+ inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

+ inet6 ::1/128 scope host
+ valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+ 3: eth0@if124: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue
