When running workloads on a BYOK Location, there are some additional configuration settings that are available.

​
Internal Firewall Settings

When a workload is running on the Control Plane cloud platform IP Addresses and CIDR blocks configured for the external firewall of a workload are ignored if they are in any private address ranges. When running in a BYOK location these internal address ranges are allowed and can be used to directly access internal resources in your data center.

​
extra k8s options

Some specific k8s options can be configured on workloads.
YAML
spec:
  extras:
    affinity: ...
    tolerations: ...
    topologySpreadConstraints: ...
  • Right now, only affinity, tolerations, and topologySpreadConstraints are supported.
  • These options will be merged with the default ones.

​
Custom Tags

An extra list of Control Plane tags can be used to change the behavior of workloads when they are run in BYOK Locations.

​
Disable Service Mesh

cpln/disableServiceMesh=true
  • When this tag is added to a workload the inbound and outbound sidecar is completely disabled. this can be useful in situations where proxying can confuse clients that are expecting direct IP communication without any NAT.

​
Disable Service Mesh Inbound Port

cpln/disableServiceMeshInboundPort
  • A comma delimited list of ports to exclude from being intercepted by the sidecar proxy inbound.

​
Disable Service Mesh Outbound Port

cpln/disableServiceMeshOutboundPort
  • A comma delimited list of ports to exclude from being intercepted by the sidecar proxy outbound.

​
Disable Service Mesh Outbound CIDR

cpln/disableServiceMeshOutboundPort
  • A comma delimited list of CIDR IP ranges to exclude from being intercepted by the sidecar proxy outbound.

​
ClusterRole

cpln/k8sClusterRole
  • The ClusterRole that should be binded to the workload
    The actuator must be configured to allow this. See BYOK Actuator settings
