In this age of an interconnected world, One Network helps customers to simplify deployment of their products and services by providing a unified service and policy oriented network architecture that breaks down the boundaries of public and private clouds, different runtimes and traffic patterns.
Google Cloud networking evolved organically over time, which created friction for feature parity and interoperability between cloud products due to different infrastructure and policy enforcement points for internet traffic, service to service communication, for Kubernetes, serverless or VM-based runtimes and communication with on-prem and other public clouds.
In this presentation we will discuss One Network as a unified service networking architecture with the focus on:
Open Source proxies and control APIs as building blocks for cross runtimes, cross path and across public and private clouds
Uniform policies and policy enforcement on each path and secure by default application deployments
Opening converged network infrastructure to third party security, API management and traffic management SaaS developers
Interview:
What is the focus of your work?
These days I work on evolving GCP from organically grown 300 Cloud products into a cohesive platform. This includes efforts such as One Network, and also efforts that we call One Producer Stack to enable developers write code once and run it on multiple environments where GCP exists. I am also working on AppHub as our GCP-wide effort to evolve GCP from infrastructure platform to an Application and Services platform
What’s the motivation for your talk?
One Network project is 4 years in running and has been based on a previously running 3 year project we called internally One Proxy. Overall the effort is 7 years old and we thought it is time to share our learnings and accomplishments of building unified service networking architecture across GCP and Google internal production environment.
Who is your talk for?
Software engineers interested in architecture of massively scalable distributed systems and platforms.
What do you want someone to walk away with from your presentation?
Understanding that unification of software infrastructure pays off with benefits in development velocity, ability to control distributed environments via policies.
