Panel Discussion: Cloud Native Networking State of the Union

Cloud Native Networking State of the Union panel discussion highlights the challenges and best practices of Cloud Native networking for application developers and devops audiences.

• Cloud Native networking landscape is complex and challenging due to service mesh, containers, L4/L7 load balancing, and different networking implementations for each public cloud.
• Panelists, including Kubernetes Networking SIG chair, discuss fundamental design challenges and advanced scalability issues.
• Virtual network functions and packet processing within a cluster are areas of exploration for the future.
• Audience participation is encouraged through a Q&A session.
• Attendees gain a better understanding of Cloud Native networking challenges and best practices.

The panelists discuss the persistent problem of multi-network for customers like telco Kubernetes, which was initially ignored due to its difficulty. However, with the success of Kubernetes, the community has come up with solutions that need to be normalized and made a regular capability. The demand for virtual network functions and packet processing within a cluster is increasing, and it is time to start thinking about how to tackle these challenges.

Note: LIVE panel. The Cloud Native networking landscape is particularly frightening. With the advent of service mesh and containers being deployed in the tens of thousands, L4/L7 load balancing, plus networking implementations for each public cloud being different, it's important for application developers and devops audiences to understand the nuances of Cloud Native networking.The panelists, all cloud native networking experts including the Kubernetes Networking SIG chair, etc. will go into some of the fundamental design challenges and address some advanced scalability issues. We will include select questions from the audience as well.This panel, intended for application developers and devops audience will look at the Cloud Native networking ecosystem, past present and future. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the challenges of some of the tools for the trade and how to best implement Cloud Native networking best practices.
