K8s in the Datacenter - Integrating with Preexisting Bare Metal Environments
Offered By: CNCF [Cloud Native Computing Foundation] via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the challenges and solutions of integrating Kubernetes into existing bare metal datacenter environments in this conference talk. Dive into adapting Kubernetes components like kube-proxy and Calico networking project for pure L3 ECMP fabric configurations. Learn about network overlay considerations, diagnosing Linux networking issues using tools such as ebpf, ftrace, tcpdump, and conntrack, and providing network connectivity with and without overlays. Gain insights into running multiple BIRD instances, addressing iptables MASQUERADE issues, and advanced network kernel debugging techniques for seamless K8s integration in diverse datacenter architectures.
