Description

We should be creating a network namespace per microvm and the host network interfaces should live in that namespace. This can potentially be done via CNI with #14.

The network namespace will then be used when using the Jailer (#205).

Research direction

Start by tracing the microVM network setup and reviewing the proposed CNI approach in #14 alongside the Jailer work in #205. Done means each microVM has its own network namespace, host network interfaces live there, and the namespace is available when using the Jailer.
