Abstract
Systems and methods for Kubernetes-cluster-driven modification of network hardware configuration. A Kubernetes event is detected in received network traffic and the corresponding packet is examined to identify a pod of a Kubernetes cluster, then the packet is forwarded to the pod for processing. The pod determines a configuration modification of a network hardware element (e.g., a load balancing switch) based on the processing of the event. The pod sends the modification to a controller, which then generates a command (e.g., an API call or CLI command) and sends this command to the network hardware element to implement the desired modification. The configuration of the network element is then updated according to the command received from the controller.
