Container networking is a very hot topic, as evidenced by numerous recent techniques to provide container networking, as well as numerous CNI plugins. The key questions are how can we best support:
Minimum performance impact
Programmability
Unprivileged use
Transparent cross-cloud connectivity
Service discovery
Live workload migration
Security
Transparent legacy application support
In this miniconf we will bring together the innovators of new container-relevant network technologies with those writing container orchestration managers.
The goal is to get an idea of which container networking goals are furthest from being met, and how we might address them.
