Fast Data and Packet Processing: Virtual, but for Reals
The Fast Data (fd.io) project is dedicated to making open source network services faster, more extensible and interoperable. Vector Packet Processing (VPP) utilizes the Data Plane Development Kit to optimize packet processing. The code base is still maturing, so when VPP support became a requirement, it was time to take it to the next level: production-ready. This talk features an introduction to VPP and its benefits, provide a quick update on the project status, then dives into the effort it took to productize VPP for a mainstream cloud.
IPv6 Deployment with OpenStack
More and more enterprise/service provider environments are deploying IPv6 due to IPv4 address exhaustion. Pubic and internal-facing applications that need IPv6 can now be deployed on OpenStack. This talk will discuss:
IPv4 address exhaustion
IPv6 deployment options for the cloud provider using OpenStack
Where to go for design and deployment of IPv6 on OpenStack
