0:05 Juniper Cloud-Native Contrail Networking, or CN2, is a Kubernetes-native software-defined
0:11 networking platform that automates Infrastructure as a Service operations and virtual network
0:19 lifecycle management.
0:21 CN2 is a Container Networking Interface that lets you manage workloads in both private,
0:28 public, and hybrid clouds that provides centralized control of the virtual routing, switching,
0:34 security, and load-balancing of multiple containerized application clusters.
0:39 Manage your containerized workloads within a Kubernetes cloud.
0:46 Cloud-native orchestration enables seamless operations in a consistent environment.
0:50 This means less onboarding downtime, the ability to quickly deploy dynamic services, and lower
0:56 operational costs.
1:01 Deploy a high-performance, highly scalable network with a wide range of L2 and L3 protocols.
1:07 CN2’s vRouter offers DPDK, kernel, or SmartNIC implementations for high-performance packet
1:14 processing.
1:15 CN2 supports tunneling protocols that abstract the physical underlay and provide networks
1:20 with isolation, security, and granular network policies.
1:27 Through integration with Kubernetes and OpenShift, CN2 offers a flexible hybrid SDN solution
1:33 that emphasizes agility, scalability, and high-performance NetOps.
1:41 Create dynamic network policies that isolate traffic within and across virtual networks.
1:47 Enforce security rules across multicluster networks.
1:51 Isolate namespaces, services, and pod traffic to minimize your application’s exposure
1:56 to threats from external networks.
