managing pod using virtualization : issue with IP

[Remi-2025]

ola

i try to use virtualization to store my pod deployed in a k8s env, but i m facing an issue, some pods are are using the host IP i.e. then i can not link my ip adress to the host and then to the different pod using this IP

Do we have a way to do that?

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this up. NetBox does not currently provide any core models for representing containers or Kubernetes resources such as pods. The virtualization models are designed for virtual machines, so they do not map cleanly to cases where pods share the host IP.

Because of that, I do not believe there is a native way in NetBox core to model this relationship exactly as you described.

A few possible options would be:

• look for an existing plugin that supports container or Kubernetes-related use cases,
• build your own plugin if you need a more specific data model, and ideally share it with the community, or
• use the Custom Objects plugin to define models that better fit your environment.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.
