The Story of Kubernetes Networking

Do you know Kubernetes does not provide networking, but rather relies on third party plugins for networking the pods ? When Kubernetes is so sophisticated, is not capable of networking pods by itself ? Why is it done this way ? How  Kubernetes networking evolved ? How does the networking really work with Kubernetes ? Why it picked up CNI vs CNM as networking standard. And yeah, how I ended up contributing to the Kubernetes eco system  and one of its CNI plugins rather unknowingly ?  Tune in to this episode of Being Devops to get the whole story of Kubernetes Networking.

What will you learn in this episode ?
