KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2019

Cloud native applications in planet-scale distributed systems are bound together by the network. How we think about application layer networking has evolved significantly over the years, enabling huge improvements in developer productivity. But we are still thinking about IP networks the same way we did 35 years ago - we are still building boxes, whether they are physical or virtual. This talk will focus on how to up-level IP networking into the zero-ops, application-first world of today, and what changes need to be made to the network consumption, service, and operational architectures to enable that.
