[KCD Taipei 2024] Optimizing On-Premise Kubernetes Networking with BGP

I will start by addressing some of the challenges encountered during the installation process of Kubernetes, with a particular emphasis on the use of BGP Mode in CNIs. Following this, I will introduce fundamental concepts such as routing, overlay networks, BGP, and ECMP, to explain how to optimize the efficiency and reliability of Kubernetes networking.

The talk will highlight the advantages brought by BGP Mode, including improved network efficiency and performance, as well as the challenges it presents, such as the need for in-depth network knowledge and management of routing tables. To conclude, the importance of understanding these network concepts for fully leveraging Kubernetes will be emphasized, encouraging a deep dive into documentation to enhance network efficiency.
