Networking guide
We've often gotten questions about how networking is handled in Wakame-vdc. It is time we write a comprehensive guide. I have uploaded a WIP guide that I started writing months ago. It can be found in the doc-networking-guide. https://github.com/axsh/wakame-vdc/blob/doc-networking-guide/docs/content/networking/index.md
The WIP guide is copied as is from the old wiki so it needs some cleanup.
- The table of contents needs to be deleted. MkDocs will make one for us.
- Links need to be changed to MkDocs format.
- It's currently using a Q&A format but I think it's better to change it to a guide with chapters (like most other guides are right now.)
When finished, the guide should contain the following topics.
- Mention that Wakame-vdc uses bridged networking.
- A typical production setup with instances network Vs. management network.
- Explanation of how the intstances network and management network can be the same but it would mean that the WebAPI is exposed to instances.
- Explanation of how Wakame nodes communicate. (amqp)
- Examples of how to set up networks with
vdc-manage. - Explanation of
dc_networkvsnetworkin the database and how to set/use them. - Explanation of how firewalls are implemented.
- Mention of the
config.netfilter_script_post_flushscript. - Mention of static NAT using the NATbox. Natbox setup itself should be a different guide.
- Mention of OpenVNet integration. How to do this should again be a separate guide.
