Class E IP Address Space Helps GKE Manage IPv4 Depletion
Using Class E IPv4 Address space to help GKE address IPv4 depletion problems. The need for private IPv4 addresses is growing along with the amount of services and apps hosted on GKE
Compared to standard RFC 1918 private addresses (around 17.9 million addresses vs. about 268.4 million addresses for it), Class E addresses provide a much bigger pool of IP addresses
It addressing’s wide reach facilitates the simple scalability of services and apps on Google Cloud and GKE
By using Class E addresses to enhance your IP address allocation procedures, you may reduce the possibility of address conflicts and contribute to the efficient use of IP resources
Although it is not supported by all operating systems, its use is anticipated to rise in response to the growing need for IP addresses
To ensure there are no interruptions while switching from RFC 1918 private addresses to it, meticulous preparation and execution are needed
At the moment, not all operating systems enable Class E addressing. Make sure your selected operating system and tools are compatible before putting Class E into practice
