OpenShift networking and network observability form an integrated stack: the layered CNI architecture (OVN-Kubernetes + Multus) with dual-stack addressing provides the data plane, while the observability pipeline (eBPF→FlowCollector→Loki) provides flow-level visibility — both following the platform's explicit multi-component enablement pattern.
Networking and network observability are architecturally coupled — observability consumes the CNI stack it monitors, and both require explicit enablement beyond defaults.
