Building Hyperscale Cloud-Native SDN with Kubernetes - A Journey in Network Control Plane Transformation

Learn about transforming Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture in this technical conference talk that explores the challenges and solutions for building scalable cloud-native networks. Discover how enterprise workload migration to the cloud creates new scalability and performance demands on network control planes in hyperscale multi-tenant environments. Explore a distributed micro-services architecture powered by Kubernetes that enables unified network management for VMs and containers. Examine performance improvements including 30x port throughput, 20x VM boot concurrency, and 75% reduction in VM boot time compared to OpenStack Neutron. Follow along as speakers detail architectural insights, stress tests, latency comparisons, and implementation strategies for achieving superior network performance goals. Gain practical knowledge about securing, connecting, and monitoring control plane micro-services while implementing fine-grained service-to-service communication control in cloud environments.
