os-net-config 18.1.0

Declarative network configuration tool for hosts

A declarative network configuration tool for hosts.

Overview

os-net-config is a host network configuration tool which supports multiple backend configuration providers. One of: ifcfg (network-init-scripts), nmstate (NetworkManager), or eni (basic support for /etc/network/interfaces)

Features

The core aim of this project is to allow fine grained (but extendable) configuration of the networking parameters for a network host. The project consists of:

• A CLI (os-net-config) which provides configuration via a YAML or JSON file formats. By default os-net-config uses a YAML config file located at /etc/os-net-config/config.yaml. This can be customized via the –config-file CLI option.

• The provider used by os-net-config, which can be customized via a flag Try “os-net-config –help” for a list of supported PROVIDERs.

• A python library which provides configuration via an object model.

• A set of related services like os-net-config-sriov, os-net-config-sriov-bind, os-net-config-dcb.

• Configuration examples could be found at https://github.com/os-net-config/os-net-config/tree/master/etc/os-net-config/samples
