Vcenter NamespaceManagement Networks Edges Foundation Persona
A Vcenter NamespaceManagement Networks Edges Foundation Persona determines the type of traffic that passes through a network interface.
Possible values:
MANAGEMENT: A Management Persona allows management traffic to pass through this interface. Management traffic may include (but is not limited to) node health checks, rsyslog, and control plane capabilities.
Management traffic can be safely isolated from workload and external traffic by placing the Management Persona NIC onto a different network from other NICs.
WORKLOAD: A Workload Persona allows traffic to reach workload networks through the provisioning of LoadBalancer Services in Kubernetes. Thus, interface associated with this persona must be able to reach node IP addresses on Supervisor workload networks.
An interface with the Workload Persona cannot be connected to a DHCP network.
FRONTEND: A Frontend Persona is used to host load balancer IP addresses. It allows external traffic to reach the load balancer addresses which can then be forwarded to interfaces with a Workload Persona.
IP addresses supplied in Vcenter NamespaceManagement Networks Edges Edge.load_balancer_address_ranges, Vcenter NamespaceManagement Supervisors Networks Edges FoundationLoadBalancerCreateSpec.vip_ranges, or Vcenter NamespaceManagement Supervisors Networks Edges FoundationLoadBalancerUpdateSpec.vip_ranges will be utilized by the network interface configured with this Persona.
Virtual IP traffic can be safely isolated from workload and management traffic by placing the Frontend Persona NIC onto a different network from other NICs.
An interface with the Frontend Persona cannot be connected to a DHCP network.
Frontend Persona interface cannot be changed.
