Sessions
Have you ever wondered how kube-proxy originated in Kubernetes? Are you familiar with the userspace mode of kube-proxy? Have you thought about what it takes to add a mode to kube-proxy? In this session we will go through the evolution of the kube-proxy, from userspace, to iptables mode to Next-Generation-Kube-Proxy also known as KPNG.
We will dig into the working of userspace mode of kube-proxy and showcase what it takes to add it as a backend to KPNG. Attendees will get to know about the improvements introduced in KPNG over the current implementation of kube-proxy, the algorithms behind an intuitive “user space” proxy, and how to reason about kube-proxy’s logic in any mode, using a generic model. We promise to demonstrate KPNG in userspace mode and compare the performance with kube-proxy in userspace mode and exhibit how it performs better with KPNG.
