Introduction to Tungsten Fabric Lab

  • Pre-lab:  Install TF & Kubernetes and make sure the services are up and running.
  • Lab-1: Create and deploy a Kubernetes pod and make sure the Virtual Networks (vrouters/gateways) are configured so that the pod can be accessed.
    • As part of this lab exercise, the pods will be created in k8s and the corresponding configurations will be defined in services yaml file.
    • TF uses the configuration defined in the service yaml file and creates virtual networks. 
  • Labs: Create Simple Gateway

TF Configuration Lab

  • Lab-2: Create multiple tenants (namespaces and pods ) and deployments with access restrictions (Network policy) and show the communications between pods from different namespaces. This involves:

    • Creating multiple namespaces and a few pods and deploying corresponding services

    • Define network policies to allow and deny communication between two pods 

  • Labs: Virtual networks and policies

  • Floating IPs
  • Simple virtual gateway configuration
  • EVPN

TF & External Networks

  • Lab-3: Create and deploy a pod using Floating IP so that the pod can be accessed externally.
    • This exercise could be combined with Lab-1 because the floating IPs are created automatically by TF upon deploying a service. 
  • Labs: Creating floating IPs and gateways
