Multi-Cluster Networking: A Technology-Agnostic Network Operator for K8 Federation
summary
A technology-agnostic Network Operator automates federated Kubernetes networking using a CRD northbound API and a reconcile loop, currently integrating with Skupper to expose annotated deployments and copies secrets to create links between clusters; it monitors sites and applies a follow-the-sun routing heuristic based on energy/latency, handles topology changes by creating or deleting links, and is deployed in the AC3 EU project — demo shows adding namespace SK4 and the operator spinning up Skupper pods and a new inter-cluster link.
