Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2019

The technology evolution drives a significant continuous increase in the total number of connected devices and the overall generated traffic. This pushes network service providers, like ISPs and Telcos, to carefully consider their technology choices when designing their next generation architectures. Unfortunately, the current generation of container networking solutions doesn't fit very well to that preventing industries with more sophisticated network demands from adopting the new cloud-native paradigm. The newly adopted CNCF Sandbox project, Network Service Mesh, offers a potential solution. In this talk we'll introduce the novel approach Network Service Mesh uses to solve complicated L2/L3 challenges in Kubernetes. We will also discuss use cases and provide a set of examples of this solution.
