The importance of modularity and multiple data planes
Technologies come, and technologies go. (Sadly, we’re not all riding Segways to work!) But what if we could future proof technologies to ensure their longevity?
Calico was designed with change in mind and is adaptable, supporting multiple data plane technologies with different goals.
In this session, Chris Tomkins (Tigera) will talk about the importance of software modularity and multiple data planes. Watch the recording to learn about:
