Distributing OpenStack Architecture with BGP and Kubernetes Integration

OpenInfra Live is a weekly hour-long interactive show streaming to the OpenInfra YouTube channel on Thursdays at 15:00 UTC (9:00 AM CT). Episodes feature more OpenInfra release updates, user stories, community meetings, and more open infrastructure stories.

This episode will discuss the shortcomings of layer-2 networks and how layer-3 network protocols help address those. We will take a in depth look at Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17 and its integration with FRRouting (FRR) to implement dynamic routing using BGP protocol as well as use of BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) protocol which is used for detecting network failures. We will also take a look at how ECMP is used to provide both high availability and load balancing in OpenStack control and dataplane networks.

If you have additional questions for the speakers, email [email protected] and we can connect you.
