Five Networking Must -Haves For Containers
Deepak Patil, Principal Director, Product Management & Strategy, Brocade
1. Simple, Automated Scale

• Containers are used to deploy large, scale out, microservices-based applications.
• Network fabrics need to scale out easily, and provide efficient, reliable, distributed data transport to accommodate rapid growth.
2. Multi-Tenancy and Security

• Containers have strong isolation and security requirements, and network fabrics need to support multi-tenancy and security.
• This enables container deployments of various applications tiers e.g. development, QA, production, or across security zones.
• Fabrics with options for Layer 2 or Layer 3 connectivity choices provide flexibility in connecting networking applications deployed in containers.
3. Flexible Programmability

• Containers follow an agile deployment model and network fabrics need be programmable for dynamic network configuration as containers are updated and deployed.
• Support for REST/NETCONF and scripting tools can simplify integration with container orchestration platforms to provide provisioning and visibility from the network as containers are rapidly spun up.
4. Cross-Domain Integration

• As with all distributed workloads, container management spans IT domains.
• A network that is siloed from the rest of the IT organization is ripe for inefficiency and error.
• Networks that can orchestrate and integrate with workflows across IT will be critical in container-based architectures.
5. Software Networking

• Containers allow for easy portability • Network fabrics need to be complemented
with a software networking portfolio which enables container migration and connectivity across public and private clouds.
