What's Smoother Than Your Morning Espresso Pull? Bridging Gaps with BGP and Cilium! - Marino Wijay, Solo.io

The widely adopted, highly capable Border Gateway Protocol has won the hearts and minds of the Internet. And, it’s made its way into Kubernetes! However, not every workload is a container, and not every VM can make its way into Kubernetes so, how do we ensure every workload can freely talk? If BGP on Cilium is the answer how should we proceed? - Why should we care about BGP? - How do we work with Cilium’s BGP Control Plane? - How can we get our VMs to communicate with our pods using BGP? - Can we see a working BGP setup? - Does “show ip bgp summary” still work? This presentation allows us to delve into BGP internals and history while providing a demonstration of BGP in action, running in Cilium. We’ll become the best neighbors with an upstream router, and we’ll share ALL THE NETWORKS!
