Kubernetes Traffic Engineering Right on Track - Piotr Jabłoński

This session transforms the complex task of managing Kubernetes traffic into a practical process for network engineers and platform teams. It explores foundational concepts and advanced techniques, addressing key topics such as the Traffic Engineering Matrix for analyzing data flows in Kubernetes and hybrid environments, efficient routing with BGP for routing announcements, and custom architectures for complex traffic patterns like asymmetric flows. The speaker also shares best practices for application-specific design using tools like static routes, VXLAN, and multi-cluster configurations. Attendees will gain valuable insights into mastering traffic engineering in cloud-native environments.

Piotr Jabłoński, an architect specializing in security, networking, and cloud solutions, leads the discussion. He has designed and implemented Cloud Native and Data Center solutions on a global scale and has contributed to developing features in MPLS and Autonomic Networking. Additionally, he has presented at CNCF events, VMworld, and Cisco Live.
