Revolutionizing Network Automation with Kubenet: Beyond Containers

Join us for an in-depth session on Kubenet, a community-driven initiative designed to illuminate the potential of Kubernetes for network automation. This talk will explore the motivations, objectives, and implementation strategies that position Kubernetes as a powerful automation and orchestration engine, not just for containers but for physical, virtual, and containerized Network Operating Systems (NOS).In this session, we will introduce open-source extensions that leverage Kubernetes for comprehensive network orchestration and automation. Key topics include:- API Model/Extensions: Utilizing Kubernetes' API-driven approach for consistent and programmable network management.- Version Control and Orchestration: Enhancing network automation with easy to use orchestration tools backed by a version control system.- Abstraction: Simplifying network management through abstractions.- Drift Detection and Remediation: Identifying and correcting deviations from the desired network state in a vendor agnostic way.- Managing YANG based systems in a declarative way using kubernetes- Vendor Plugins: how to integrate vendor plugins for specific API models.Discover how Kubernetes, with its robust, open-source foundation, extensibility, and vast ecosystem, is revolutionizing network automation. Whether you're a network engineer or an IT professional, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to harness Kubernetes for your network automation needs.Wim Henderickx: Mr.Wim Henderickx is Head of Technology and Architecture at Nokia, based in Belgium.
