Re: Using WireGuard with Kubernetes

For Kubernetes, using the bridge CNI plugin (
https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/tree/master/plugins/main/bridge)
or even the ptp plugin (
https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/tree/master/plugins/main/ptp)
should work fine. I wonder though if there's a way to alias the wg0 device
itself and push that into the container with something like the host-device
plugin (
https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/tree/master/plugins/main/host-device).
This would avoid the overhead of a veth (and a bridge).
