Hi Ragav,
So there a couple of things you can look at.
A bunch of work has been done on the orchestration side by Keith Burns.
This involved wiring up the Kubernetes, Calico to VPP. Keith can point
you at the latest patches - but I believe the most of these are upstream.
You can see Keith's demo video of this here.

On the setup/installation side, I am happy to report, due to binary
packaging VPP works no problem in a Container. I have used to myself on
vpp_bootstrap, which is a container based quick-start development
environment. If you take a look at the vagrant setup scripts here they
will show you how to install etc.
You can find vpp-bootstrap here.

Finally on the performance question, Container setup's tend to use
veth's and memory mapped raw sockets to talk to the Container (af_packet
+ PACKET_TX_RING). So VPP dataplane performance in this setup tends to
be constrained by pushing and pulling packets to and from the host kernel.

Hi Folks,
I’m trying to find some data about pros and cons of running VPP in a
container.
Has this been tried before? Are there some performance number
comparisons available ?
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Raghav
