Modular Overlay Networking Solutions with the Container Network Interface

" summary

Recipe and demo for building a working CNI stack: a tiny simple CNI plugin (bash) calls a separate host-local IPAM binary, runtime invokes plugins via STDIN/ENV, and the network is glued by a bridge veth setup that creates a veth pair, moves one end into the container netns, assigns the IP and routes. Uses config files in /etc/cni/net.d and binaries in /opt/cni/bin; demo shows add/delete succeed and JSON results return via stdout.
