Speaker: Albert Greenberg, Director of Networking, Microsoft Azure
Abstract
Over the past several years, the stunning growth of the Cloud has changed literally everything in networking. At Microsoft, we have developed and deployed totally new network infrastructure to handle the scale and agility of cloud services, creating virtual networks that on shared infrastructure behave as if dedicated to individual customers. I will discuss the problems and the approach to the solutions. A takeaway is that the action in Software Defined Networking (SDN) is in the host.
