Kubernetes¶

Kubernetes uses two internal IP ranges, either of which can overlap and conflict with the underlying infrastructure, thus requiring custom IP ranges.

The pod network: Either Calico or Azure IPAM services gives each Kubernetes pod an IP address in the default 192.168.0.0/16 range. To customize this range, during MKE installation, use the --pod-cidr flag with the ucp install command.
The services network: You can access Kubernetes services with a VIP in the default 10.96.0.0/16 Cluster IP range. To customize this range, during MKE installation, use the --service-cluster-ip-range flag with the ucp install command.
