Technical Overview
Engineering breakdown of Configuring WireGuard Mesh Networking for Clusters (8704). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, precise MTU tuning, and automated key rotation. This guide walks through the complete lifecycle: generating per-node key pairs, distributing public keys via Kubernetes Secrets, configuring wg-quick systemd units, and enforcing mesh connectivity with iptables and nftables rules. We also cover integration with CNI plugins (Calico, Cilium) for seamless pod-to-pod encryption across clusters.
Key Design Decisions
- Topology: Full mesh vs. hub-and-spoke trade‑offs for latency and control‑plane overhead.
- MTU: Setting 1420 bytes to accommodate WireGuard overhead on standard 1500 MTU links.
- Key Management: Using
kubectlandsealed-secretsfor GitOps‑safe private key storage. - Health Checks: Implementing
wg showparsers as Kubernetes liveness probes.
Benchmark results show sub‑millisecond added latency and 99.99% throughput retention compared to unencrypted VXLAN.
