Kuryr is a networking solution that bridges the gap between containers and traditional VMs by leveraging OpenStack's Neutron service, enabling users to manage both workloads under a single networking solution. Initially developed by Midokura and Huawei in 2015, Kuryr provides seamless integration with Kubernetes and OpenShift, allowing for the deployment of OpenStack services within a containerized environment. Key features include support for multiple networking plugins, high availability, and connectivity between pods and VMs, enhancing the operational synergy of hybrid workloads.
