Bret is joined by Project Calico's Tomas Hruby from Tigera to dig into Calico CNI features for Kubernetes and beyond.

Calico can be used in a lot of places, including Linux, Windows, containers, bare metal, eBPF or iptables. Many of us learned about it as a CNI option for Kubernetes network and networking policy.

Streamed live on YouTube on February 9, 2023.
