DESCRIPTION:NetworkManager has become the de facto standard for network man
 agement across many Linux distributions\, known for its reliability and br
 oad feature set. Originally designed with the desktop user experience in m
 ind\, it introduced “connection profiles” as a convenient abstraction 
 for managing Wi-Fi and VPN connections.\n\nOver time\, NetworkManager expa
 nded to support server and edge use cases. However\, this evolution introd
 uces friction for system administrators: behaviors like automatic connecti
 on activation can be surprising\, and managing multiple connection profile
 s for a single device can feel unintuitive.\n\nJoin us for this talk as we
  explore how we’re designing network management solutions from the groun
 d up to better serve a wide range of environments—including Kubernetes a
 nd containerized systems. We’ll walk through our design approach and con
 clude with a short demo of our project.
