Networking
NKS clusters integrate directly with Nirvana’s networking infrastructure, providing dedicated network isolation, private multi-cloud connectivity, and built-in load balancing.
VPC Integration
Section titled “VPC Integration”Each NKS cluster is deployed into a VPC of your choice. Firewall rules can be configured per VPC to control ingress and egress traffic to your cluster.
Nirvana Connect
Section titled “Nirvana Connect”Nirvana Connect gives NKS clusters private, low-latency connectivity to external cloud providers including AWS, GCP, and Azure. This makes NKS an ideal platform for hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes architectures where workloads span multiple providers.
- Sub-millisecond latency over dedicated private fiber — unaffected by public internet congestion
- No egress fees — data transfer through Nirvana Connect eliminates costly cloud egress charges
- Multiple bandwidth tiers — from 50 Mbps to 2 Gbps to match your throughput requirements
See Nirvana Connect for setup details and supported regions.
Load Balancing
Section titled “Load Balancing”NKS includes built-in support for Kubernetes LoadBalancer services. When you create a Service of type LoadBalancer, NKS automatically provisions a load balancer with a dedicated IP address, distributing traffic across your worker nodes.
Current Networking Model
Section titled “Current Networking Model”Each VPC supports a single NKS cluster, giving you a clean, isolated network environment per cluster with its own set of firewall rules and IP address space. This simplifies security configuration and avoids cross-cluster interference.
Support for running multiple clusters within a single VPC is on the roadmap.
