 Okay. Yeah, so I'm Alberto Rodriguez Natal. I work for Cisco. I'm a tech lead there and in the five minutes We're gonna spend together. I hope to convince you why you should tell your SD one about your service mess external services So let me start with this slide here just to show you the why that a network and to give you some perspective on why that is Critical for any mother distributed enterprise. I guess I don't need to to explain to any of you like what the one is You can see that I connect in branches campus as all types of clouds and so on and Over time different solutions have been proposed to handle this kind of network lately The more most common one is something called software defined one SD one which takes the principles of SDN so what if I'm not working to the one which basically translates that you have an SD one controller That you can use to control and orchestrate the the whole network So as the one brings a set of benefits and offers different features But there is one in particular that I think is interesting for this audience and is the one that talks focus on that is such optimization Different SD one solutions use different names for this kind of optimization But the idea here is that you can use the SD one footprint to find for any given sauce or remote service in general The best path to to reach it from any enterprise location So the way this works typically is that you are gonna start probing from all different SD one points in the network to this particular sauce and then figure out You know build a grab through the interaction with the controller and so on build kind of a graph Okay, which is the the best path and they give point on the network to this particular sauce now This is fantastic You can use it in your application as well There is only one small piece that we are missing here that is okay. How do we automate this? So if you want to use this to optimize your connection from your applications to our given sauce How can you you know prevent from having to go and configure the SD one to support this for your application? So in order to automate this let's first understand what We're automating so this is kind of showing a typical configuration of this kind of solution You need basically three things one is which sauce you want to optimize for which endpoints you want to probe and on which port We these three piece of information. You are good to go So where have we seen something similar to this? Where can we find this information somewhere that is no more familiar to the climate of community? Well one place to go and look is here These are two jammals one is from Istio the other one is from from open service mess. They are basically showing egress configuration or external service configuration And if you look closer you may see some details here like these ones that is basically what you need to Configure your SD one to start probing for the for the optimization So you can see that okay You get some hints that these are sauce or like remote external services You know kind of sauce for the for the SD one and you see them points you want to prove and on which ports So this is all you need to configure the typical is one optimization on on on any SD one solution So what we have done is that we have built some open source That takes care of this. So basically it's gonna monitor these kind of configurations On service messes. We support Istio as of today. We just released a code like two weeks ago Like pushing some code there We are looking into supporting more service messes and even seems like okay network policies If you don't have a series maybe we can get some info from there You can go to the to the github there and take a look and basically what he does is that when you deploy a External service is gonna detect that and pass the information to the SD one so the SD one can start You know doing this magic So if you want to learn more The team behind the this open source tool are gonna be on the Cisco boot On Wednesday and Thursday morning so you can stop by and say hi You can you know send me an email or that email address or connect with me on on LinkedIn And I'm gonna be hanging around these you know general vicinity so when this finish you can come and talk with me So that's all and place of time to spare
