Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for creating a software-defined wide-area-network (SD-WAN) enabled network fabric for containers. Embodiments can configure one or more virtual networks on a network node, wherein the one or more virtual networks are used for creating the SD-WAN enabled network fabric for containers. Next, the embodiments can deploy a virtual gateway on the network node by executing the virtual gateway image. The embodiments can then create a container network interface configuration based on network address information of the one or more virtual networks and the virtual gateway, and execute the container network interface configuration, thereby enabling containers on the network node to communicate via the SD-WAN enabled network fabric.
