Calico Networking for Kubernetes and More

Bret is joined by Project Calico's Tomas Hruby from Tigera to dig into Calico CNI features for Kubernetes and beyond.


Calico can be used in a lot of places, including Linux, Windows, containers, bare metal, eBPF or iptables. Many of us learned about it as a CNI option for Kubernetes network and networking policy.

Streamed live on YouTube on February 9, 2023.

Unedited live recording of this show on YouTube (Ep. #202). Includes demos.
