Canal is a community-driven initiative that aims to allow users to easily
deploy Calico and flannel networking together as a unified networking
solution - combining Calico’s industry-leading network policy enforcement with
the rich superset of Calico and flannel overlay and non-overlay network
connectivity options.

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

## Usage

The canal 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 canal
juju deploy etcd
juju deploy kubernetes-control-plane
juju deploy kubernetes-worker
juju add-relation canal etcd
juju add-relation canal kubernetes-control-plane
juju add-relation canal kubernetes-worker
```
