Overview

Clabernetes, also known as c9s (pronounced "see-nines") allows you to run containerlab network topologies across a K8s cluster, achieving scalability, flexibility, and diverse deployment options.

While Containlerab is constrained by the resources of a single node (VM or bare metal), c9s creates a K8s deployment each topology node, connects interfaces across them, and exposes management services through Kubernetes services API.

C9s can be installed on any K8s cluster and does not require a custom CNI.

If you want to try c9s with a throw-away KinD cluster, follow the quickstart guide. If you want to install c9s into an existing cluster, follow the installation guide.
