Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
vArmor currently lacks comprehensive support for IPv6-only and dual-stack Kubernetes environments. As more organizations transition to IPv6 to address IPv4 address exhaustion and meet modern networking requirements, vArmor's limited IPv6 support becomes a significant barrier to adoption in these environments.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement end-to-end IPv6 support across all vArmor components to ensure full compatibility with IPv6 single-stack and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack Kubernetes clusters. This includes:
- Core vArmor functionality testing and validation in IPv6 environments
- Network policy enforcement compatibility with IPv6 addressing
- API and configuration support for IPv6 addresses and CIDR notations
- Comprehensive testing coverage for IPv6 scenarios
- Documentation updates for IPv6 deployment configurations
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Current limited support: Basic IPv6 handling in specific components - insufficient for production IPv6 environments
- Workarounds: Using IPv4-only configurations in IPv6 environments - not feasible for IPv6-only clusters
- Alternative solutions: Using other security tools with better IPv6 support - loses vArmor's specific features and optimizations
The proposed solution of native IPv6 support provides the most seamless integration with modern Kubernetes networking standards.
Additional context
With Kubernetes 1.23+ supporting dual-stack networking and many cloud providers offering IPv6-only instances, this feature is essential for vArmor's continued relevance. The implementation should maintain backward compatibility while providing robust support for IPv6 environments.
