And we're working on the Open Network Fabric, to bring users the power and experience from public cloud providers to their private environments. Welcome!
The Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is an open networking platform that leverages the SONiC network operating system, provides network connectivity, tooling, and automation to deploy scalable cloud infrastructure on your commodity hardware, without vendor lock-in.
The Open Network Fabric is built around the concept of VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds), similar to public cloud offerings. It provides a multi-tenant API to define the user intent on network isolation and connectivity, which is automatically transformed into configuration for switches and software appliances. Built on top of Kubernetes, the project uses Kubernetes API to manage its resources, meaning that all user-facing APIs are Kubernetes Custom Resources (CRDs), so you can use standard Kubernetes tools to manage resources in the fabric.
The Open Network Fabric is an open-source project, and you're welcome to contribute!
