|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Antrea implements the Container Network Interface and Kubernetes NetworkPolicy to provide pod networking and security for Kubernetes workloads. | DANM is an end-to-end network management suite for Kubernetes, originally developed as Nokia’s TelCo-grade solution. |
Antrea suits Kubernetes operators who need pod networking, network policy controls or multi-cluster capabilities. It requires Open vSwitch on every node, and its traffic encryption feature applies to Linux nodes rather than Windows nodes.
DANM suits Kubernetes administrators who need multiple Pod networks, IP allocation choices, or tenant-aware network management. The documentation also describes a lightweight mode for new users and single-tenant clusters.
