Architecture

Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) 4 is an enterprise-grade, production-ready Kubernetes platform that is designed to be secure, scalable, and reliable.

You can manage the entire MKE cluster through the MKE configuration file. Refer to Configuration for details.

Components

MKE 4 is built on top of k0s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution. To learn more, refer to k0s documentation.

Networking

By default, Calico is installed as the Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin, with the following configuration:

• IPv4 only, with a fixed Pod CIDR of 10.244.0.0/16.
• The datastore mode set to kdd.
• kube-proxy set to iptables mode.
• A vxlan backend, which uses the default port of 4789 for traffic and default virtual network ID of 4096.

Refer to Container Network Interface for the network configuration details
