What is CNI?

CNI (Container Network Interface) is a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) project that specifies an interface between container runtimes and network plugins. It provides a standard way for container runtimes to configure network interfaces for containers. This allows for a variety of networking solutions to be easily integrated with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, enabling features like assigning IP addresses to containers, creating virtual networks, and implementing network policies.
