Enable CNI Providers#

To enable a Container Network Interface for MKE 4k:

  1. Obtain the default mke4.yaml configuration file:

    mkectl init

  2. In the providers section of the mke4.yaml configuration file, set the enabled parameter for the CNI you want to deploy to true and the enabled parameter for the CNIs you do not want to deploy to false.

  3. Apply the configuration:

    mkectl apply -f mke4.yaml

  4. Verify the successful deployment of your chosen CNI in the MKE 4k cluster.

    To verify Calico OSS CNI

    Run the following command:

    bash k0s kc get po --show-labels -A|grep -i -e tigera -e calico

    Example output:
