This is session COMS002, titled “Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure with Data Plane Virtualization.” Verplanke believes that DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) and virtualization are key to virtualizing workloads that move around lots and lots of packets, such as firewalls, routers, and other similar functions.

For some reason, I had a difficult time with the basic concept of Network Virtualization. VMware equates network virtualization to Server Virtualization. You can easily manage OS images, clone virtual machines, create entire test environments with almost a push of a button. It seems natural to this point.

The problem is that threat actors are able to get through the castle gates (firewalls) and once in, are able to evade the castle guards (IPS).
