[OpenContrail][20] is creating a kubernetes-contrail plugin designed to stitch the cluster management capabilities of Kubernetes with the network service automation capabilities of OpenContrail. Given the event-driven abstractions of pods and services inherent in Kubernetes, it is a simple extension to address network service enforcement by leveraging OpenContrail’s Virtual Network policy approach and programmatic API’s.
