Calico

Calico is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal workloads. Calico uses standard Linux networking tools to provide two major services for Cloud Native applications:

  • Network connectivity between workloads.
  • Network security policy enforcement between workloads.

Calico’s flexible architecture supports a wide range of deployment options, using modular components, including:

  • CNI plugins for Kubernetes to provide highly efficient pod networking and IP Address Management (IPAM).
  • A Neutron ML2 plugin to provide VM networking for OpenStack.
  • A policy engine, Felix, to provide enforcement of the full set of Kubernetes network policy features, plus for those needing a richer set of policy features, Calico network policies.
  • Both non-overlay and overlay (via IPIP or VXLAN) networking options in either public cloud or on-prem deployments.
  • A BGP routing stack that can advertise routes for workload and service IP addresses to physical network infrastructure such as Top of Rack routers (ToRs).
  • A simple command line interface, calicoctl, for managing Calico configuration and Calico network policies.
