The TungstenFabric blueprint can be deployed at any location in a network where a single server multi-tenant Openstack service is required to support applications.


Overall Architecture

The Tungsten Fabric controller integrates with cloud management systems such as OpenStack or Kubernetes. Its function is to ensure that when a virtual machine (VM) or container is created, it is provided with network connectivity according to the network and security policies specified in the controller or orchestrator.

Tungsten Fabric consists of two primary pieces of software

Tungsten Fabric Controller– a set of software services that maintains a model of networks and network policies, typically running on several servers for high availability
Tungsten Fabric vRouter– installed in each host that runs workloads (virtual machines or containers), the vRouter performings packet forwarding and enforces network and security policies.
A typical deployment of Tungsten Fabric is shown below.
