Explore Kubernetes Network Plugins - Harshvardhan Karn & Sumit Lalwani

This talk explores the extensibility of Kubernetes, emphasizing how its framework allows customization of cluster services based on specific use cases. The speakers, Harshvardhan Karn and Sumit Lalwani, discuss the importance of standard interfaces for infrastructure components, including CRI, CNI, and CSI, in facilitating comparative studies of available options. They demonstrate how platforms like Raspberry-Pi and LePotato can be effectively used to build multi-node clusters, particularly on ARM architectures, to evaluate various Container Network Interface (CNI) options such as Calico, Flannel, and Cilium.
