CNI (Container Network Interface) plugins typically have a configuration element named `ipam`. CNI IPAM plugins can assign IP addresses, and Whereabouts assigns IP addresses within a range -- without having to use a DHCP server. -Whereabouts takes an address range, like `192.168.2.0/24` in CIDR notation, and will assign IP addresses within that range. In this case, it will assign IP addresses from `192.168.2.1` to `192.168.2.255`. When an IP address is assigned to a pod, Whereabouts tracks that IP address in a data store for the lifetime of that pod. When the pod is removed, Whereabouts then frees the address and makes it available to assign on subsequent requests. Whereabouts always assigns the lowest value address that's available in the range. +Whereabouts takes an address range, like `192.168.2.0/24` in CIDR notation, and will assign IP addresses within that range. In this case, it will assign IP addresses from `192.168.2.1` to `192.168.2.254`. When an IP address is assigned to a pod, Whereabouts tracks that IP address in a data store for the lifetime of that pod. When the pod is removed, Whereabouts then frees the address and makes it available to assign on subsequent requests. Whereabouts always assigns the lowest value address that's available in the range. You can also specify ranges to exclude from assignment, so if for example you'd like to assign IP addresses within the range `192.168.2.0/24`, you can exclude IP addresses within it by adding them to an exclude list. For example, if you decide to exclude the range `192.168.2.0/28`, the first IP address assigned in the range will be `192.168.2.16`.
