Calico Delivers "Wow Effect" with 6x Faster Encryption than Any Other Solution... Confirms Leadership in Latest Independent CNI Benchmark Tests

Benchmark tests measure a repeatable set of quantifiable results that serve as a point of reference against which products and services can be compared. Since 2018, Alexis Ducastel, a Kubernetes CKA/CKAD and the founder of InfraBuilder, has been running independent benchmark tests of Kubernetes network plugins (CNI) over a 10Gbit/s network. The latest benchmark in this periodic series of tests was published in September, and was based on CNI versions that were up-to-date as of August 2020.

Troubleshooting Kubernetes Networking with Calico

Troubleshooting connectivity problems in distributed networks is difficult enough, but doing it in a Kubernetes environment is even more challenging. However, there are tools in Calico that can ease the burden and speed problem resolution. Join this session that discusses the components that makeup Calico and best practices for troubleshooting connectivity problems in your Kubernetes cluster when things go wrong.

Getting up and running with Calico on your Rancher Kubernetes Cluster

Rancher is a great way to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters across a broad range of environments, abstracting away many of the differences between the environments, and using Canal for run-anywhere networking. But what if you want to up your networking game to squeeze the most out of your clusters? In this training session you’ll learn about the various networking options available to you in Rancher, and considerations to take into account in order to select the best option for your environment.

Multi-Cluster, Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Networking, Observability and Security Management

Managing networking, observability and security in multiple Kubernetes clusters can quickly become a major challenge. Lack of a centralized, unified multi-cluster approach results in dozens of clusters that are deployed and managed independently throughout an organization, with very little uniformity in the way they are secured. This adds complexity for DevOps teams, who must adapt to different cluster environments.

Introducing Fast, Automated Packet Capture for Kubernetes

If you’re an SRE or on a DevOps team working with Kubernetes and containers, you’ve undoubtedly encountered network connectivity issues with your microservices and workloads. Something is broken and you’re under pressure to fix it, quickly. And so you begin the tedious, manual process of identifying the issue using the observability tools at your disposal…namely metrics and logs.
