Task #6681

Updated by Nico Schottelius over 5 years ago

h2. General idea 

 Instead of relying on opennebula (limited firewalling support) and iptables (we prefer nftables), we should have a more dynamic firewall. 
 This should also enable us to delegate /64 networks faster to our customers. 

 The general concept is that there is a virtual machine manager, that decides/writes rules for all hypervisor hosts to a distributed store. 
 The hypervisor hosts then apply changes on themselves and have rules for all possible VMs, so migrations don't affect rules. 


 h2. General rules 

 * Install nft ruleset that blocks forwarding of everything by default 
 ** Ensure that bridging is also affected! 


 h2. VM rules 

 * Install rule for mac address per interface 
 * Install rule for the primary IPv4/IPv6 address 

 h2. Network rules / routing 

 If the customer requested a /64 for her VM 

 * Install rule for the IPv6 network 
 * Install route for the IPv6 network
