Network planes

Each node uses its local management network for K3s and cluster traffic. FCJ clusters also receive a WireGuard overlay address so the hub can reach management services without exposing them directly to the internet.

Flow Path
Console and control APIs Operator device → WireGuard → hub
Hub-routed workload Client → hub edge → WireGuard → workload-cluster ingress
Site-routed workload Client → operator-managed site edge → workload-cluster ingress

The final two paths are optional and depend on a separately reviewed edge configuration. Do not publish hub management NodePorts, Kubernetes APIs, or overlay-only services on the WAN.

See Security and ports and fleet-edge.
