Split Brain: Overlays as Seen by Linux Vs. Networking Folks

There's always a struggle to determine who "owns" the overlay in an OpenStack deployment.  Are the Linux admins responsible, the network admins, or both?  After all, it *is* software running on Linux.. but it's also critical networking infrastructure..

In this talk, we'll cover the different viewpoints of deploying and managing overlays.  From the viewpoint of the Linux sysadmin, and from the view of the network admin.  Will the two views find peace in the middle, or will one come out on top? 


What can I expect to learn?

Whether you're on the networking side, the Linux side, or somewhere in the middle.  You'll get a view into the mind of each side, and hopefully come out of this talk with a better understanding of the different approaches and challenges faced when building out and managing an overlay network.
