Simplifying and Making Networks Programmable with Kubernetes and SRv6

Explore the potential of simplifying and programming networks using Kubernetes and SRv6 in this 27-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023. Delve into the rapid deployment of SRv6 by major networking industry players and its impact on enterprise, telco, and provider networks. Learn how Cilium and its eBPF data plane were extended to support telco networking requirements in a cloud-native manner by integrating SRv6 and Kubernetes. Discover Bell Canada's SRv6 use cases and network architecture, followed by a demonstration of Cilium's SRv6 integration with BGP to construct a multi-cluster L3VPN topology over native IPv6. Gain insights into topics such as Pod VRF Membership, EPPF Maps, Traffic Encapsulation, Packet Flow Diagrams, and the BGP Control Plane.
