How would you describe the priority of this documentation request
High
Describe the future/missing documentation
Gap: No guidance for connecting a tenant VPC to endpoints not behind a NICo-managed DPU — high-performance storage (e.g. VAST), shared services, and a customer's existing/reference-design DC network. This is the most recurring networking question in the field.
Raised by: Lenovo, SpectroCloud, Reliance (VAST).
Docs needed:
- The storage/shared-service tenancy options: (1) endpoint on its own DPU = full NICo isolation; (2) VLAN-capable, no VXLAN/ACL termination = VLAN↔VXLAN stitching on the storage/border leaf; (3) no VLANs = app-level isolation.
- Reaching a shared resource from many isolated VPCs via a common route-target imported into each tenant VRF, and where VXLAN is decapsulated (the leaf — the storage node never sees the VNI).
- Where VTEPs live for non-DPU endpoints, and what is operator-managed vs NICo-managed.
