Galactic ContainerLab Deployment Verification

Date: 2026-07-09

Summary

All checks pass. The containerlab deploy is fully operational with transit underlay, fabric eBGP, tenant iBGP with route reflector, SRv6 EVPN route distribution, cross-site connectivity, and VPC isolation all working correctly.

Verification Results

Check Status
Containers (11 nodes) All running
Nodes (6 Kind nodes) All Ready
Pods (galactic-system) All Running across 3 clusters
Transit BGP (iBGP full mesh) All Established
Fabric BGP (FRR eBGP → transit) All 4 sites Established
Tenant BGP (galactic-router → RR) All Established (4 peers)
BGPRouters All Ready
SRv6 Locators (3 × /48 on transit) All present
BGPAdvertisements (6 total, 2/site) All present
VPC Pods (6 total, 2/site) All Running
Gateway ping (dfw/vpc10 → gw) ✅ 0.1ms
Cross-site vpc10 (dfw→sjc, dfw→iad, sjc→iad) ✅ ~0.2-0.3ms
Cross-site vpc20 (dfw→iad) ✅ ~0.27ms
VPC isolation (vpc10 → vpc20) ✅ 100% packet loss (as expected)
