Change how Rook detects network CIDRs for Multus networks. The IPAM
configuration is only defined as an arbitrary string JSON blob with a
"type" field and nothing more. Rook's detection of CIDRs for whereabouts
had already grown out of date since the initial implementation.
Additionally, Rook did not support DHCP IPAM, which is a reasonable
choice for users. And more, Rook did not support CNI plugin chaining,
which further complicates NADs. Based on the CNI spec, network chaning
can result in any changes to network CIDRs from the first-given plugin.
All these problems make it more and more difficult for Rook to support
Multus by inspecting the NAD itself to predict network CIDRs. Instead,
it is better for Rook to treat the CNI process as a black box. To
preserve legacy functionality of auto-detecting networks and to make
that as robust as possible, change to a canary-style architecture like
that used for Ceph mons, from which Rook will detect the network CIDRs
if possible.
Also allow users to specify overrides for CIDR ranges. This allows Rook
to still support esoteric and unexpected NAD or network configurations
where a CIDR range is not detectable or where the range detected would
be incomplete. Because it may be impossible for Rook to understand the
network CIDRs wholistically while residing only on a portion of the
network, this feature should have been present from Multus's inception.
Improving CIDR auto-detection and allowing users to specify overrides
for auto-detected CIDRs rounds out Rook's Multus support for CephCluster
(core/RADOS) installations. No further architectural changes should be
needed for CephClusters as regards application of public/cluster network
CIDRs for Multus networks.

Rook
Rook is an open source cloud-native storage orchestrator, providing the platform, framework, and support for Ceph storage to natively integrate with cloud-native environments.
Ceph is a distributed storage system that provides file, block and object storage and is deployed in large scale production clusters.
Rook automates deployment and management of Ceph to provide self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing storage services. The Rook operator does this by building on Kubernetes resources to deploy, configure, provision, scale, upgrade, and monitor Ceph.
The Ceph operator was declared stable in December 2018 in the Rook v0.9 release, providing a production storage platform for many years. Rook is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a graduated level project.
Quick Start Guide
Starting Ceph in your cluster is as simple as a few kubectl commands.
See our Quickstart guide to get started with the Ceph operator!
Designs
Ceph is a highly scalable distributed storage solution for block storage, object storage, and shared filesystems with years of production deployments. See the Ceph overview.
For detailed design documentation, see also the design docs.
