1st Edition
by Dinesh G. Dutt (Author)
If you want to study, build,
or simply validate your thinking about modern cloud native data center
networks, this is your book. Whether you’re pursuing a multitenant
private cloud, a network for running machine learning, or an enterprise
data center, author Dinesh Dutt takes you through the steps necessary to
design a data center that’s affordable, high capacity, easy to manage,
agile, and reliable.
Ideal for network architects, data center
operators, and network and containerized application developers, this
book mixes theory with practice to guide you through the architecture
and protocols you need to create and operate a robust, scalable network
infrastructure. The book offers a vendor-neutral way to look at network
design. For those interested in open networking, this book is chock-full
of examples using open source software, from FRR to Ansible.
In the context of a cloud native data center, you’ll examine:
- Clos topology
- Network disaggregation
- Network operating system choices
- Routing protocol choices
- Container networking
- Network virtualization and EVPN
