- brianwawok 10y agoThat is true, it has more fancy network stuff, but less scheduling stuff. This space is getting busy in the last few years..
- gtirloni 10y agoAn overlay network is not a requirement. The only requirement is that pods (collection of containers) should be able to communicate with each other directly without NAT. Each pod gets an IP address in the container network. Overlay network technologies (flannel, weave, calico, etc) are popular but they aren't mandatory. You can implement it using hardware switches and VLANs if you wish.
- scurvy 10y agoSorry, but what are you inferring by hardware switches? Something not an overlay? Something that switches VXLAN in hardware?
