Networking

overview korgrid's network fabric provides integrated, software defined networking (sdn) to your environment, enabling the creation of logical networks independent of physical infrastructure with the fabric, you can create and manage virtual networks on demand and deploy networks instantly, without complicated configurations or reliance on networking specialists key features integrated sdn functionality native to the platform – no extra hardware or appliances required centralized management – manage all networking components within a unified interface, alongside the hypervisor and storage controls embedded ip administration dhcp, dns, routing, and firewall functionality built in dynamic routing – bgp/ospf support for advanced networking capabilities advanced security & segmentation micro segmentation – enforce security at the tenant level or down to individual vms with dedicated internal networks distributed firewall (dfw) – applies granular security rules inside the network, beyond traditional perimeter based controls built in monitoring & diagnostics – track and control network performance with rate limiting, logging, and integrated diagnostic tools automation & orchestration api first networking – fully programmable networking via rest apis self service networking – developers can deploy, modify, and manage virtual networks without it intervention task engine integration – automate networking tasks based on scheduling or event triggers multi cloud & vpn support multi cloud design – securely connect multi tenant environments and multiple sites vpn integration – site to site and client vpn access using wireguard or ipsec network types external networks connects your tenant to the outside world think of this network as your isp connection common use cases internet connectivity provide external access for workloads multi site connectivity link to other korgrid regions internal networks create isolated virtual networks within your tenant for workload segmentation and security common use cases application tiers separate web, application, and database layers development environments isolated networks for dev/test workloads tenant isolation dedicated networks for multi tenant deployments vpn networks establish secure tunnels for remote access and site to site connectivity common use cases remote user access secure connectivity for distributed workforce branch office connectivity site to site vpn between locations partner access controlled external access to specific resources traffic flow the following diagram helps to illustrate traffic flow within the platform tenant traffic flow
