Hybridnet: Enabling Underlay and Overlay Network Coexistence in Kubernetes Clusters

Explore the innovative concept of hybrid networking in Kubernetes clusters through this comprehensive conference talk. Delve into the world of container networking, learning how Hybridnet breaks the traditional boundaries between underlay and overlay networks. Discover how this approach allows for the creation of both network types within a single cluster, enabling direct communication between overlay and underlay pods without NAT translation. Gain insights into the advantages of maintaining high-performance communication between underlay pods and preserving visibility to the underlying host network. Examine Hybridnet's advanced features, including unified management API through CRD, sophisticated IPAM capabilities, multiple network modes (VxLAN, VLAN, BGP), dual-stack support, and seamless integration with community ecosystem components. Witness detailed demonstrations of these cutting-edge features to fully grasp the current capabilities and potential of Hybridnet in revolutionizing Kubernetes networking.
