Heavy Networking 619: Pluribus Empowers NetOps With Kubernetes Network Visibility (Sponsored)

Welcome to Packet Pushers Heavy Networking. In today’s sponsored show, we are diving into the latest features from Pluribus Networks. In a previous episode we covered how NetVisor is a data center fabric using open switch hardware with Pluribus’s distributed SDN controller. This offers a resilient and easy-to-operate L2 DCI. Today we continue the discussion by examining new application networking features, including KubeTracker, FlowTracker, and a virtualized packet broker service. Kubernetes is the very latest fashion and every wants one, but ownership comes with special requirements to keep it operating. Pluribus’s KubeTracker feature integrates the controller with Kube API to know where the containers and services are located. When combined with Pluribus’s new FlowTracker  and Packet Broker capabilities, you have features that would make off-premises clouds somewhat jealous. Our guest is Alessandro Barbieri, VP Product Management at Pluribus. Show Links: Join Pluribus Networks and NVIDIA on March 16th to find out how Pluribus is revolutionizing cloud networking.
