Datum Cloud networking lets you define and connect the infrastructure your applications run on. The networking.datumapis.com service groups the resources that describe your network topology and how traffic reaches your services: private Networks with their addressing, the Subnets carved out of them, HTTPProxies that expose services over HTTP, and the Domains that name them. For fine-grained control over how service traffic is routed and secured, Datum Cloud also exposes the standard Gateway API resources and the Envoy Gateway extensions that build on them. You create and update these resources declaratively with datumctl apply -f, and inspect them with datumctl get and datumctl describe.
These resources are alpha (v1alpha). The API surface — fields, defaults, and behavior — may change in backward-incompatible ways between releases.

Piloted resources

This reference documents a pilot subset of the networking service. More resources exist in networking.datumapis.com; the pages below cover the ones available in the pilot.

Network

Define a private network with its IP families, address management, and MTU.

Subnet

Carve an addressable range out of a network.

HTTPProxy

Expose a service over HTTP with a convenient reverse-proxy configuration.

Domain

Register a domain name in Datum for use by other networking resources.

Gateway API

Route service traffic with the open Gateway API standard — classes, gateways, routes, and backend TLS.

Envoy Gateway

Extend the Gateway API with implementation-specific traffic and security policy.
