Add an annotation to disable mesh networking for offloaded pods #482
Description
Description
Version 0.6.x supports, when enabled, a mesh networking mode that allows bidirectional communication between offloaded pods and services/pods running on the source k8s cluster.
Currently, all offloaded pods have mesh networking enabled by default. However, not all pods require this capability, and keeping mesh networking always enabled may introduce unnecessary complexity or overhead.
Problem
There is currently no way to:
- selectively disable mesh networking
- control this behavior at the level of individual offloaded pods
Proposal
Introduce a Kubernetes annotation that allows mesh networking to be disabled per pod.
Example (illustrative):
annotations:
interlink.eu/mesh-network: "disabled"Expected Behavior
- Default behavior remains unchanged (mesh networking enabled)
- If the annotation is present and set to
disabled, the pod is offloaded without mesh networking - Bidirectional communication is disabled only for pods that do not require it
