Securing and Accelerating the Kubernetes CNI Data Plane with Project Antrea and Mellanox

Explore Project Antrea, an open-source Kubernetes CNI network plugin, in this 57-minute webinar presented by CNCF. Learn how Antrea simplifies secure pod connectivity and network policy enforcement using Open vSwitch (OVS). Discover its powerful toolset for reasoning about and troubleshooting distributed security postures at the application edge. Understand how Antrea overcomes traditional CNI performance limitations by offloading the network dataplane to NIC hardware with NVIDIA Mellanox Accelerated Switching And Packet Processing technology. See how this software-defined, hardware-accelerated approach positions Antrea as a secure SDN solution for demanding cloud-native workloads across cloud, on-premises, and edge domains. Gain insights from expert presenters Antonin Bas, Moshe Levi, and Itay Ozery as they demonstrate how Antrea combines security and performance in Kubernetes environments.
