Do you feel that container networking can be overwhelming? You are not alone. Understanding Kubernetes networking may feel like a superpower and OpenShift on Bare Metal may sound like dark magic, but don’t get scared easily.

The need for an easy yet powerful network orchestration on K8s clusters is what drives the OpenShift Networking project. We work to give you a simple way to deploy your workload in the most complex network topologies you can imagine. Whatever your cloud provider forbids you from doing, you are more than welcome to try it with us.

In this session we will explain everything you need to understand how on-prem networking for OpenShift works. Loadbalancers, DNS servers, Network Manager, Node IP, single- and dual-stack – those are only some buzzwords to convince you to join this talk.

To make it more entertaining, we will be showing you where the boundaries between a cloud and an on-prem deployment dissolve, putting a question mark on some fundamental definitions.
