When dealing with microservices, such as Docker containers, inevitably, there comes a time when you will troubleshoot issues in a software-defined networking (SDN) universe. The SDN troubleshooting requires knowledge of programming and fundamental concepts of container networking implementation frameworks, i.e. the container network model (CNM) and the container network interface (CNI). This talk provides you with the fundamentals about the frameworks, the interplay between Docker ecosystem and the frameworks, and the how to develop your own network drivers for microservices, whether for network connectivity or IP address management (IPAM). Importantly, during the talk, we will dive into a specific implementation of the drivers and discuss the challenges awaiting us on our road to SDN-transported microservices!
