Mayday! CNI Overboard! - The Future of Container Network Interface

Explore the future of Container Network Interface (CNI) in this 31-minute conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2023. Dive into the world of CNI, an API providing networking solutions for Linux containers that extends beyond Kubernetes. Discover how network-centric workload developers seek richer interactions between their applications and underlying networks through Kubernetes-native approaches. Learn about the challenges of not having a common language between CNI and Kubernetes, including the risks of vendor lock-in and administrative confusion. Examine current initiatives such as SIG-Network's multi-networking project, Multus CNI's dual communication capabilities, and the potential for CNI 2.0. Join speakers Daniel Mellado and Miguel Duarte Barroso as they discuss the crossroads CNI faces and explore possibilities for its future, emphasizing the importance of saving and evolving this crucial networking technology.
