Heavy Networking 612: Cloud-Native Kubernetes Networking For CSPs (Sponsored)

Today on Heavy Networking, sponsor Juniper Networks talks about software defined networking for cloud service providers. Wait, I just said “software defined networking.” Is that a blast from the past? Is that even a thing anymore? Well, yes. SDN is a thing. In fact, the original SDN model of a centralized control plane programming a distributed forwarding or data plane is pretty much everywhere these days. In fact, SDN is a major solution component to the challenge of deploying secure networks to support apps in multi-tenant environments. And if that sounds like a bunch of buzzwords, we’re going to get into details as we go forward. We’ll start with the big ideas around service provider and cloud provider network services in 2022, both how they collide and are complementary, and then get an update on Juniper’s Contrail product. A quick preview of the Contrail discussion is that it’s Kubernetes-native via CNI now. Our guest is Shean Leigon, a product manager at Juniper.
