Tutorial: Delivering Network Services Using Cloud Native Methodology - Presented by Huawei (Additional Registration Required)

The term ‘Cloud Native’ abounds. But what exactly does it mean and how can network services be delivered using its paradigms? What are the adoption challenges and how may we solve them? In this tutorial, we will introduce emerging concepts, best practices, and potential solutions that are developing within the Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) using modern, open source technologies. A live session will concretely demystify how example network services can be developed and continuously deployed using an iterative, cloud-native methodology. Whether you are active developers, product managers, technologists, or service provider operation or business specialists, this tutorial can help you deepen your understanding or get you started on delivering network services using cloud-native methodology.

Open Networking - Putting it All Together - Attilla de Groot, Cumulus Networks

Over the past few years Open Networking has grown with network operating systems, Linux networking, open hardware, DevOPS tools etc ...

Cumulus Networks has developed a Linux NOS for open networking. When talking about the OS or implementing it at customers, we run into several different questions, like:

"How do I manage this in a "web-scale" way?"
"Which tools do I use?"
"How do I implement this in an Enterprise environment?"

In this presentation I would like to show the combination of technologies and tools to build and manage a web-scale networking build from open source tools like:

- Vagrant
- KVM
- Linux kernel VRF support
- Free Range Routing
- Ansible
- Netbox
- Grafana

The presentation will cover how these tools can be put together in an operational environment and it will be demonstrated in a live demo.

Keep Your Sanity and Your Hair: More Secure Networking with Kubernetes, OpenStack, and Bare Metal - Greg Elkinbard, Juniper Networks

Modern data centers serve the needs of many different applications. Virtualized environments are built atop OpenStack or VMware, containerized environments use Kubernetes or Mesos, while bare metal environments support legacy or performance-sensitive applications.

This presentation demonstrates how Tungsten Fabric addresses networking and security challenges or these environments. TF can span multiple cloud control planes and provide a single SDN that manages OpenStack and VMware, CNI-compatible container managers and hardware switches for bare metal integration.

This session will cover the hybrid SDN and security architecture and provides a quick demo of networking across OpenStack and Kube environments

Tungsten Fabric is a member project of LFN. It has been in production since 2013, supporting large-scale SDN deployments at large service providers and enterprises.

We The Few - Critical Team Composition For Day 2 Operations - Keith Strini, Pivotal

Mission critical systems are fundamentally different than your average commercial platforms. Most aspects share commonality with the key tenets desirable in all enterprise environments, workload survivability, in whatever manner that takes, is the number one priority.

We must start from the mission objectives and work from production backwards examining all aspects of the delivery process, instrumenting the key constraints, and continuously learning and improving these constraints until we can reach ideal flow along with high survivability.

The scope of this talk will include how continuous fielding roles can be stratified across the delivery flow to align with the concerns and needs of the development teams responsible for capability development.

Services for All: How To Empower Engineers (with Kubernetes) - Melanie Cebula, Airbnb

At Airbnb today, our infrastructure supports thousands of production microservices. We expect developers to be able to create, configure, and operate their own services. But how do you solve configuration challenges for a thousand developers?

We’ve created a framework where all configuration can be stored alongside project code: everything from service orchestration, service discovery, secrets, cloud computing configuration, CI/CD, and more. Developers should only specify the minimal configuration, and boilerplate is reduced with generators and templated files.

Out-of-the-box CLI tools like kubectl are too verbose and unwieldy for service owners, so we created a lightweight wrapper for common operations.

Finally, we will go over how we use Kubernetes to solve common problems such as graceful degradation, AZ balancing, and more.

Network Reliability Engineering (NRE) and DevNetOps - James Kelly, Juniper Networks

If big changes begin inside-out and not have-do-be but be-do-have, then goals of automation require us to focus on our core being and behaviors instead of products, tools and programmability/APIs.

To engineer of network simplicity, it’s time to lose the title of network admin, operator or architect and embrace a new identity as a Network Reliability Engineer/NRE. Like sysadmins graduated from technicians to technologists as SREs, the NRE title stakes a new culture and zenith for engineering network invincibility. Like SREs describe their practices as DevOps, network reliability engineering embraces DevNetOps behaviors.

Through real-life examples, we examine the shift to an NRE culture and behaviors that embody the role: networks as code, testing, pipeline CI, microservice and immutable infrastructure, pipeline CD, chaos engineering, and continuous measurement and response.

Kubernetes Networking Made Easy with Open vSwitch and OpenFlow - Péter Megyesi, LeanNet ltd.

Kubernetes has become the de facto tool in container orchestration thus it will be the foundation of enterprise DevOps. However, recent surveys conducted by the Cloud Native Compute Foundation show that majority of the end users face challenges with networking during deploying Kubernetes.
This talk will have a short overview on the basics of Kubernetes networking: how does the Container Networking Interface work, how do the popular network plugins provide connectivity between PODs, and what is the role of Kube Proxy.
Then I will present how anyone can solve the Kubernetes networking problem solely relying on Open vSwitch and the OpenFlow protocol. Such solution has the benefit that it can be integrated into higher level SDN frameworks using ONOS, ODL or Tungsten, while it does not rely on any Linux kernel modules thus it is compatible with full line rate user-space networking with DPDK.

Improve Performance and Security for Containers Using Kuryr and Cilium - Rossella Sblendido & Michal Rostecki, SUSE

Containers are getting more traction every day in the NFV arena but there are still concerns about security and performance. In this talk we will describe how to overcome those problems combining the flexibility of SDN and the reliability and speed of the linux kernel. Cilium is on open source project which implements Kubernetes network policies and provides container network security by using eBPF and XDP packet filtering in the Linux kernel. Kuryr is the OpenStack project that enables native Neutron-based networking in Kubernetes. We will demonstrate how to deploy and configure a Kubernetes cluster using Cilium as CNI plugin and Kuryr to integrate it into OpenStack. Thanks to native packet filtering Cilium boosts performance, we will show tests results to measure how Cilium improves throughput compared to other CNI plugins.

Lightning Talk: InSpec on Network Devices: Extending Open-Source Compliance to the Network Admin - Julian Dunn, Chef Software Inc.

Configuration and verification of network devices is one of the last areas that automation has not yet made significant inroads. Gartner estimates that fewer than 10% of organizations today use any sort of pervasive network automation tool. We believe there is a huge opportunity for new approaches here, starting with taking a devops approach to security of network devices – firewalls, switches, routers, and so on.

In this talk, we will introduce the open-source InSpec language and show how it can be used to validate network configurations, such as those defined on Cisco IOS devices as well as software-defined network configurations in the AWS, Azure and Google clouds. We’ll show how this language allows for highly-customizable yet readable network compliance policy that can be shared between network engineers, software developers and system administrators. Expect live demos.
