Container Networking: Key Tenets for Successful Production Deployments
Container adoption is sweeping Enterprise IT. With increased application agility, lower deployment costs (say goodbye to the VM-tax!), and rapid provisioning, container technology is moving from corporate Test & Dev environments to Production faster than anyone expected.
Although Containers have generated well-deserved excitement, the Day 2 ongoing operational challenges introduced in containerized environments are much less well understood. Kubernetes, Mesos, and OpenShift provide management orchestration platforms, but allocating network resources and provisioning on a per container basis in a highly ephemeral container environment poses significant challenges.
Presenters:
- Gregg Holzrichter; Chief Marketing Officer, Big Switch Networks
- Bill Erdman; Director, Product Marketing, Big Switch Networks
During the webinar, you’ll learn:
- Container environments require networking automation to keep up with the dynamic lifecycles of ephemeral containers.
- Traditional switch by switch and CLI-based network management is inadequate for scale-out production deployments of containers
- Container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, Mesos and Red Hat OpenShift benefit from network automation and per-container resource allocation.
