Canal manifests and docs have moved to docs.projectcalico.org
Refer to the docs for installing Calico for policy and flannel for networking for up to date installation directions and manifests. This repo is deprecated and no further updates are expected here.
Canal was the name of Tigera and CoreOS’s project to integrate Calico and flannel.
Originally, we thought we might more deeply integrate the two projects (possibly even going as far as a rebranding!). However, over time it became clear that that wasn't really necessary to fulfil our goal of making them work well together. Ultimately, we decided to focus on adding features to both projects rather than doing work just to combine them.
