Container Networking in OpenStack: Containers-as-a-Service

Greetings everyone - mark your calendars now for our March OpenStack Meetup. Note the Wed date!

PLUMgrid joins us as co-sponsor and I know you will enjoy a dynamic session with our lead speaker Fernando Sanchez.

It has been demonstrated that it is relatively easy to launch tens of thousands of containers on a group of hosts. But what new demands do containers at scale put on your virtual network infrastructure? At this meetup, PLUMgrid will discuss how Neutron can provide network functionalities for containers and how and if CNI (Container Network Interface), CNM (Container Network Model) and other network models fit into OpenStack to solve the pressing security and scale requirements of containers. Join us for an evening of intriguing topics, and free food!

Fernando has 15 years experience in designing, implementing and operating large-scale networks of virtually all kinds of customers ranging from tier-1 telcos to massive datacenters and enterprises.
