CNI-Genie is an open-source tool for dynamically selecting and managing pod network plugins within your Kubernetes cluster. Unlike traditional Kubernetes setups where a single CNI plugin handles all pod networking, CNI-Genie offers greater flexibility and control:

Key Features:

• Multiple CNI Plugin Support: Runs multiple CNI plugins concurrently within the cluster.

• Dynamic Pod Network Selection: Assigns pods to the most suitable network plugin based on pre-defined criteria or user preferences.

• Network Attachment Definition (NAD): Allows defining desired network configurations for pods using CRDs (Custom Resource Definitions).

• Kubernetes API Integration: Manages pod network selection and configuration through the familiar Kubernetes API.

• Extensible Architecture: Offers plugins for custom integrations and functionalities.

Benefits of Using CNI-Genie:

• Enhanced Pod Network Flexibility: Cater to diverse pod networking requirements within a single cluster.

• Simplified Network Management: Centrally manage and configure pod networks from a single platform.

• Improved Resource Optimization: Assign pods to network plugins that best suit their resource needs.

• Streamlined Multi-Tenancy: Support different network configurations for distinct user groups or applications.

• Future-Proof Approach: Adapts to evolving networking technologies and CNI plugin landscape.
