[Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/data-center-virtualization/application-centric-infrastructure/index.html) offers an integrated overlay and underlay SDN solution that supports containers, virtual machines, and bare metal servers. [ACI](https://www.github.com/noironetworks/aci-containers) provides container networking integration for ACI. An overview of the integration is provided [here](https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/application-centric-infrastructure/solution-overview-c22-739493.pdf).
### AOS from Apstra
[AOS](http://www.apstra.com/products/aos/) is an Intent-Based Networking system that creates and manages complex datacenter environments from a simple integrated platform. AOS leverages a highly scalable distributed design to eliminate network outages while minimizing costs.
The AOS Reference Design currently supports Layer-3 connected hosts that eliminate legacy Layer-2 switching problems. These Layer-3 hosts can be Linux servers (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS) that create BGP neighbor relationships directly with the top of rack switches (TORs). AOS automates the routing adjacencies and then provides fine grained control over the route health injections (RHI) that are common in a Kubernetes deployment.
AOS has a rich set of REST API endpoints that enable Kubernetes to quickly change the network policy based on application requirements. Further enhancements will integrate the AOS Graph model used for the network design with the workload provisioning, enabling an end to end management system for both private and public clouds.
AOS supports the use of common vendor equipment from manufacturers including Cisco, Arista, Dell, Mellanox, HPE, and a large number of white-box systems and open network operating systems like Microsoft SONiC, Dell OPX, and Cumulus Linux.
Details on how the AOS system works can be accessed here: http://www.apstra.com/products/how-it-works/
### Big Cloud Fabric from Big Switch Networks
[Big Cloud Fabric](https://www.bigswitch.com/container-network-automation) is a cloud native networking architecture, designed to run Kubernetes in private cloud/on-premise environments. Using unified physical & virtual SDN, Big Cloud Fabric tackles inherent container networking problems such as load balancing, visibility, troubleshooting, security policies & container traffic monitoring.
