Tech Talks @ Kinvolk: Network Policy in Kubernetes with Project Calico with Matt Dupre
Channel: Kinvolk
Date: 2017-05-30

Matt Dupre, a software engineer at Tigera, stopped by the Cloud Native Computing Berlin Meetup on April 25 to talk about how we can secure modern microservices applications, in particular looking at Project Calico in Kubernetes.

In a world where applications are now containerized and distributed across homogeneous hosts with technologies like Kubernetes, the traditional hardware firewall is no longer able to enforce the access restrictions needed to prevent intrusion and attack. This talk takes a look at the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy API, goes through how it addresses this problem, and then dig into how it's implemented by Project Calico. 

Speaker: Matt Dupre
Matt is a software engineer working on cloud native networking and network security.  He's spent the last few years as a developer on Project Calico; currently at Tigera.
