      • (must-have) D/S documentation covering this as a separate page, proposed as an alternative to the Bridge CNI
      • (must-have) VMs get fully functioning network when connected to a localnet OVN Kubernetes network including VM2VM connectivity.
      • (must-have) Localnet can be connected to arbitrary NICs on the host, it can be connected to a bond too, the configuration can be done using knmstate API.
      • (must-have) Confirm that connections to VMs through localnet remain open and uninterrupted during live migration.
      • (should-have) The NIC used for the default network can be shared with a localnet network with optional VLAN tagging
      • (should-have) Validate the ability to utilize the default management NIC for localnet traffic.

      Goal

      Productize support for OVN Kubernetes localnet as an alternative to the Bridge CNI.

      User Stories

      • As adeveloper,
        I want to be able to connect my VMs to a localnet network,
        so applications running in it can connect to the underlying L2 network and gain direct connection to other services outside OCP.
      • As an administrator of a cluster with single-NIC nodes,
        I want to be able to connect localnet networks to this single NIC.
      • As a cluster administrator,
        I want to use the default management NIC for said traffic,
        so I don't have to buy more hardware, configure more switch ports, and simply leverage this already configured network.
      • As a cluster administrator,
        I want to connect Pods and VMs to secondary networks,
        to allow for control over L2 usage, provide for higher throughput, and isolate traffic.

      Notes

      • Grooming: Do we want to be able to enable IPAM here?
