DOCA Weave Service Helm Chart

This is the helm chart for DOCA Weave Service.

Overview

The DOCA Weave Service provides hardware-accelerated east-west network isolation for multi-tenant AI factories on the Vera-Rubin platform. Leveraging ASTRA, BlueField-4 DPUs securely control ConnectX-9 east-west NIC traffic independently of the host.

Using OVS to manage ConnectX-9 E-Switches, DOCA Weave transparently applies hardware-accelerated VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation while enforcing tenant isolation in the DPU dataplane.

Key Features

• East-West Network Isolation: Provides network isolation for east-west traffic on BlueField-4 DPUs used with ConnectX-9 east-west NICs.
• Per-DPU gRPC Control Plane: Hosts a gRPC control plane on each BlueField-4 DPU above hardware flow programming, exposing the NetworkIsolation interface in this release.
• DHCP Services: Supplies DHCP services on each ConnectX-9 NIC to provide network connectivity for tenant workers.
• Zero-Trust DPU Enforcement: Uses ASTRA to establish a system boundary in which the host cannot directly communicate with the DPU, while the DPU securely controls the ConnectX-9 east-west data path.
• Multi-tenant Overlay Networking: Creates isolated tenant overlay networks, allowing multiple tenants to securely share AI factory infrastructure.
• Host-Independent Isolation: Enforces isolation autonomously on the DPU and independently of host or tenant control.
• Hardware-Accelerated VXLAN Data Path: Uses OVS on BlueField-4 to manage ConnectX-9 E-Switches and inject hardware-accelerated VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation flows into the NIC data path.
• Transparent Tenant Connectivity: Transparently tunnels host traffic while retaining tenant separation in the DPU dataplane, without requiring tenant applications or workloads to manage the isolation mechanism.
• Near Line-Rate Performance: Keeps forwarding in hardware to deliver near line-rate VXLAN encapsulation with minimal added latency and throughput impact.
