User Defined Networks: Gateway to Secure Multi-Tenancy
Jatan Malde, Ami Desai

In Red Hat OpenShift, the default pod network is a flat, shared space across tenants. While this works for many scenarios, organizations with stringent security and compliance requirements need stronger network isolation — right at the pod network level. User Defined Networks (UDN) provide that capability, enabling fine-grained segmentation and paving the way for truly secure multi-tenancy.
In this session, you will:
Understand the "Why", "what" and "How" factors of User Defined Networks.
Explore best practices and benefits of using UDN in OpenShift Virtualization networking use cases.
Dive deep into BGP protocol support into the core of OpenShift Networking including UDN.
The session will also feature a live demo showcasing UDN in action for virtual machine networking use cases.
