Here’s a quick look at using Envoy as a load balancer in Kubernetes. Servers/Hardware. I saw this blog post about Curiefense , an open source Envoy extension to add WAF (web application firewall) functionality to Envoy. I hope this collection of links has something useful for you! Networking.

One of the topics we discussed on the podcast was the relationship between SDN and network virtualization, which sparked this blog post by Keith Townsend, one of the attendees. I encourage you to read Keith’s full blog post, but I think the key point he makes is right here: How is this different from Software Defined Networking or SDN?

VM-to-VM (on the same host) via a hardware-based virtual switch in an SR-IOV network interface card (NIC). VMDq can provide a hardware assist when the hypervisor softswitch is involved, or you can use hypervisor bypass and SR-IOV to attach VMs directly to VFs (virtual functions). Note that there are trade-offs as a result.)

Craig Matsumoto of SDxCentral recently published a piece on NFV performance ; that article was based largely on a blog post by Martin Taylor of Metaswitch found here. The “gotcha” is that these software stacks haven’t been written yet, so the idea of repurposing hardware from switch to firewall to load balancer is still a bit of a unicorn.
