PQ 138: Inside Open vSwitch
Today’s Priority Queue delves into Open vSwitch with guest Ben Pfaff, an Open vSwitch contributor for the past ten years.
As you might infer from the name, Open vSwitch is open source software that provides switching capabilities and can run in a hypervisor, on bare metal servers, in containers, and on NICs.
You can program OVS directly or via a controller such as OpenDaylight or a commercial controller.
Open vSwitch is a project within the Linux Foundation.
This podcast was recorded live during a meeting with Ben in which he recorded a podcast with me, which you can find at OVS Orbit.
We discuss an overview of OVS, explore key features, and examine how OVS applies to the enterprise. We also look at the relationship between SmartNICs and OVS, and discuss how OVS works with service meshes.
If you want to learn more about OVS, check out Ben’s podcast at OVS Orbit.
