Virtual Application Networks for Cloud Native Applications

Explore Virtual Application Networks (VANs) for cloud-native applications in this informative conference talk. Discover how VANs advance service interconnect capabilities, enabling developers to identify and access services across remote clusters, balance workloads, and implement multicasting. Learn about the Skupper project as a VAN implementation and witness a demonstration of how non-privileged developers can set up VANs to solve multi-cluster communication challenges. Gain insights into creating multi-cluster networks involving private and edge networks, overlapping IP subnetworks, and redundant topologies. The talk includes a practical demonstration of a multi-cluster network with a redundant topology, showcasing an HTTP-based application running in both public and private data centers.
