openvswitch

Open vSwitch networking backend.

Deployment Scope

Cluster scope: site
Values key: site.openvswitch
ArgoCD Application template: charts/argocd-understack/templates/application-openvswitch.yaml

Set this component to enabled in your deployment values file:

$CLUSTER_NAME/deploy.yaml

site:
  openvswitch:
    enabled: true

ArgoCD renders Helm chart openvswitch and Kustomize path components/openvswitch/.
The shared site-level secret-openstack.yaml and optional images-openstack.yaml files are loaded before the service-specific values file.
The deploy repo contributes values.yaml for this component.
The deploy repo overlay directory for this component is applied as a second source, so kustomization.yaml and any referenced manifests are part of the final Application.

Use any secret delivery mechanism you prefer. The contract that matters is the final Kubernetes Secret or manifest shape described below.

Required or commonly required items:

values.yaml: Provide the Open vSwitch chart overrides for host networking, offload, or DPDK behavior.
kustomization.yaml: Include any site-specific manifests layered with the Open vSwitch deployment.

Optional additions:

Extra node-network manifests: Add host or bridge-specific resources if the base chart is not sufficient.

This service is rendered by application-openvswitch.yaml, which also reads the shared site-level secret-openstack.yaml and optional images-openstack.yaml files before it reads openvswitch/values.yaml.
