Kiwi

Kiwi is Kowabunga SD-WAN node in your local data-center. It provides various network services like routing, firewall, DHCP, DNS, VPN and peering, all with active-passive failover (ideally over multiple zones).

Kiwi is central to our regional infrastructure to operate smoothly and internal gateway to all your projects Kawaii private network instances. It controls the local network configuration and creates/updates VLANs, subnets and DNS entries per API requests.

Kiwi offers a Kowabunga project’s network isolation feature by enabling VLAN-bound, cross-zones, project-attributed, VPC L3 networking range. Created virtual instances and services are bound to VPC by default and never publicly exposed unless requested.

Access to project’s VPC resources is managed either through:

• Kiwi-managed region-global VPN tunnels.
• Kawaii-managed project-local VPN tunnels.

Decision to do or another depends on private Kowabunga IT policy.
