consists of following pods (and containers) as a part of deployment:

POD/Job/Daemon Set	Containers	POD Resource Types
CS	CS, Envoy Proxy, OAM Proxy, PVC Logger, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
DB Cache	DB, Observability Agent	Statefulset
EPU	EPU, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
OAM	OAM, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
NS	NS, Envoy Proxy, OAM Proxy, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
RAC	RAC, Envoy Proxy, OAM Proxy, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
Ribbon HPA	Ribbon HPA, OAM Proxy, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
RS	RS, OAM Proxy, PVC Logger, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
SC	SC, Envoy Proxy, OAM Proxy, PVC Logger, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
SG	SG, OAM Proxy, PVC Logger, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset
SLB	SLB, OAM Proxy, PVC Logger, Observability Agent	Deployment/Replicaset

Pods in the SBC CNe use multiple interfaces for communication (internal and external). The following interfaces are used by different microservices:

eth0 - Default Kubernetes Control Plane Interface (used for K8S service and Observability) / Interface used for interPOD communication
eth1/ha0 - Interface used for inter POD communication
pkt0 - SR-IOV interfaces used for SIP signaling and media communication, also used for D+ query (from SC pod) and for DNS queries (from SC and SLB).
pkt1 - SR-IOV interfaces used for SIP signaling and media communication, also used for D+ query (from SC pod) and for DNS queries (from SC and SLB).
mgt0 - Management interface for communication with RAMP CNe and other external management entities.

Interface	Pods Connected to Interface	Interface Traffic	CNI
eth0	All pods	K8S services & observability	OVS (default)
ha0	All pods	Inter-pod communication	OVS
mgt0	OAM	Management communication	OVS/MACVLAN
pkt0, pkt1	SC, SLB, CS	Signaling and media traffic	SRIOV/DPDK (vfio-pci)
