Antrea, with Antonin Bas

For pods to talk to each other in Kubernetes, you need a virtual network. Antonin Bas is a staff engineer at VMware and a maintainer of Project Antrea; a CNI plugin which provides such a network. He talks to Adam and Craig about encapsulation, virtualisation, and 10,000 year old Finnish artifacts.
