Kuberneters in Hybrid Environments Using Cloud Interconnect [A] - Marc Chisinevski, F5 Networks

Solutions to enable customers to apply consistent traffic management and security policies regardless of whether their applications are running on-premises, in a Public Cloud or in a managed Kubernetes environment.


The demos (please below) use Equinix as the cloud interconnection; however, the solution would work very similarly with other colo/interconnect providers.

The demos are using Google Container Engine but this would work very similarly in AWS, Azure and Oracle Baremetal Cloud.

Demo
------------
How it works
---------------------
The F5 Container Connector configures the F5 BIG-IPs to expose applications in a Kubernetes cluster as virtual servers, serving North-South traffic.

Components
---------------------
F5 Container Connector (http://clouddocs.f5.com/containers/v1/kubernetes/) 
running in Google Container Engine (GKE). 

F5 BIG-IPs running in Equinix and doing IPSec VPN to Google Cloud Platform (using Google Compute Engine VPN gateway).
The F5 BIG-IP routes traffic to the container networks via the IPSec tunnel.
