KubeDay Colombia 2024

Kubernetes is a powerful tool for deploying microservices applications offering features such as auto-scaling and multi-tenancy among others. But, what about networking? How does communication between workloads take place? Which components ensure reliable communication?. This talk aims to answer these questions by delivering a high level overview about the networking building blocks. Attendees will embark on a journey that begins with exploring how CNIs (Container Network Interface) enable Pod to Pod communication. Next, we will discuss the options for exposing applications to the outside world. Finally, attendees will learn how the novel Service Mesh approach improves the observability and security of Kubernetes workloads while also bringing advanced routing capabilities. By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid understanding about the scope and operation of Kubernetes networking as well as its role in hosting cloud-native workloads.
