Networks Overview

When deploying workloads in Datum, networks are used to define the IP Address Management of the workloads.

Getting Started with Networks

Most workloads can use the default network configuration shown below. This configuration leverages Datum’s built-in IP Address Management (IPAM) to automatically handle IP address assignment.

IP Address Management (IPAM)

Datum’s automatic IPAM mode simplifies network management by eliminating the need to manually configure IP addresses for each workload.

Default Auto Configuration:

spec:
  ipam:
    mode: Auto

In Auto mode, Datum uses the following default IP address ranges:

• IPv4 Ranges: 10.128.0.0/9
• IPv6 Ranges: A /48 allocated from fd20::/20

Customizing IP Address Ranges

You can override the default IP ranges by specifying custom ranges in your network manifest.

spec:
  ipam:
    mode: Auto
    ipv4Ranges:
      - 172.17.0.0/16
    ipv6Ranges:
      - fd20:1234:5678::/48
