Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Feature: Kuryr-Kubernetes will now attempt to detect the bridge interface for the pod subports on the CNI level, instead of just using a value set in kuryr.conf (and in OpenShift effectively hardcoded to "ens3"). Reason: This is to support cases when VMs call the interface differently. Result: kuryr-daemon will look for the configuration option first. If it's not set or configured interface is not present on the VM, it will try to figure out on which interface kubelet is listening on and use it as bridge interface. If that won't be possible it'll just choose first non-loopback interface on the VM.	Story Points:	---

Description Jeremy Freudberg 2020-04-29 17:03:16 UTC

The interface ens3 is hardcoded in cluster-network-operator kuryr config
(See https://github.com/openshift/cluster-network-operator/commit/b961d7ad086f942a0f84472378909f81e5802dea)

In a virtual machine on ppc64le, this is almost definitely wrong.

For example, in my ppc64le environment, it needs to be enp0s1 instead.

Could we autodetect?
Or, could we let the user specify?

Comment 5 Jon Uriarte 2020-07-17 10:53:02 UTC

Verified in 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-07-16-005008 on top of OSP 13 2020-07-09.1 puddle.

As we don't have access to a ppc64 platform it's been verified by changing the default value 'ens3'
by a non-existent interface name in kuryr.conf. This way we simulate the case in which the VM doesn't
have an interface name with the default value, and the interface name will be discovered.

Steps:

1. Scale down the network operator to 0, so the kuryr config map is not rewritten with the default config
after manually changing the config map.
$ oc -n openshift-network-operator scale --replicas=0 deployment/network-operator

2. Change the default link_iface value in kuryr config map:
$ oc -n openshift-kuryr edit cm kuryr-config
-     link_iface = ens3
+     link_iface = eth0

3. Restart the kuryr cni pods in order to take the new configuration
4. Create a new pod and check it's correctly attached to the interface, the next log is shown in kuryr cni:
Using kubelet bind interface ens3 as bridge interface.
