Simplifying the Multi-Cluster Mess with a Cluster Mesh

Multi-cluster topologies, spanning multiple regions and clouds, are becoming increasingly popular for deploying applications with strict resiliency requirements. However, this architecture introduces new connectivity challenges: How can seamless Pod-to-Pod communication across clusters be achieved? How does service discovery work in a multi-cluster setup? This session will provide the answers.

This talk covers the key requirements, traffic patterns, and available solutions within the CNCF ecosystem for multi-cluster networking. A demo will showcase how Cilium, a CNCF-graduated project, simplifies inter-cluster connectivity using its Cluster Mesh feature.

From CNI to Service Mesh: Demystifying Kubernetes networking

Kubernetes is a powerful tool for deploying microservices applications offering features such as auto-scaling and multi-tenancy among others. But, what about networking? How does communication between workloads take place? Which components ensure reliable communication?. This talk aims to answer these questions by delivering a high level overview about the networking building blocks.

Attendees will embark on a journey that begins with exploring how CNIs (Container Network Interface) enable Pod to Pod communication. Next, we will discuss the options for exposing applications to the outside world. Finally, attendees will learn how the novel Service Mesh approach improves the observability and security of Kubernetes workloads while also bringing advanced routing capabilities.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid understanding about the scope and operation of Kubernetes networking as well as its role in hosting cloud-native workloads.
