A MAC address or media access control address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. (Courtesy, Wikipedia.)
Stuff you wanna know:
- It is possible to set the MAC address of a pod or container. Think well whether or not you should though!
- You can get the MAC address of the network interfaces using the command
ip linkorifconfig -a - Kubernetes IP addresses exist at the
Podscope – containers within aPodshare their network namespaces – including their IP address and MAC address. (Thus, containers within aPodcan all reach each other’s ports onlocalhost).
