Container Service for Kubernetes:Terway

Last Updated:Dec 27, 2025

Terway is an open-source Container Network Interface (CNI) plug-in from Alibaba Cloud that is based on virtual private cloud (VPC) networks. It supports standard Kubernetes network policies to define access policies between containers. Terway enables network communication within Kubernetes clusters. This topic describes the Terway component, provides usage instructions, and lists its changelog.

Component description

The Terway network plug-in is a Container Network Interface (CNI) plug-in developed by ACK. It builds networks based on Alibaba Cloud Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) to fully utilize cloud resources. Terway supports eBPF to accelerate network traffic and reduce latency.

With the Terway network plug-in, each pod has its own network stack and an IP address. Communication between pods on the same ECS instance is forwarded directly within the instance. Communication between pods on different ECS instances is forwarded directly through the ENIs of the VPC. Terway provides high communication performance because it does not require tunneling technologies, such as VxLAN, to encapsulate messages.
