What is OVN?

OVN (Open Virtual Network) is a system for providing virtual network abstraction on top of Open vSwitch. It enables the creation and management of logical networks (e.g., virtual switches, routers, ACLs, load balancers) without requiring changes to the physical network infrastructure. OVN is commonly used in cloud computing environments to provide network isolation and advanced networking features for virtual machines and containers.
