Calico is a new approach to virtual networking and network security for containers,
VMs, and bare metal services, that provides a rich set of security enforcement
capabilities running on top of a highly scalable and efficient virtual network fabric.

This charm will deploy calico as a background service, and configure CNI for
use with calico, on any principal charm that implements the [kubernetes-cni](https://github.com/juju-solutions/interface-kubernetes-cni)
interface.

## Usage

The calico charm is a [subordinate](https://juju.is/docs/sdk#heading--subordinate-charms). This charm will require a principal charm
that implements the `kubernetes-cni` interface in order to properly deploy.

```
juju deploy calico
juju deploy etcd
juju deploy kubernetes-control-plane
juju deploy kubernetes-worker
juju add-relation calico etcd
juju add-relation calico kubernetes-control-plane
juju add-relation calico kubernetes-worker
```
