Chapter 7. Creating a Virtual Tenant Network and Service Chaining Using OVS
In the previous chapter, we saw how different services running inside the CoreOS cluster can be linked with each other. The chapter described in detail how the services deployed by different customers/tenants across the CoreOS cluster can be linked/connected using OVS.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Introduction to OpenVSwitch/OVS
- Introduction to overlay and underlay networks
- Introduction to virtual tenant networks
- Docker networking using OVS
As OVS is a production-quality, widely deployed software switch with a wide range of feature sets, we are going to see how OVS can be used to provide service chaining, which can differentiate between different customer services.
