OVN is a network virtualization system that has been under development as

part of the Open vSwitch project over about the last two years. On this

podcast, Ben Pfaff and Russell Bryant, two major contributors to OVN,

describe OVN, its architecture, its features, focusing on features that

were added in the recent release of Open vSwitch 2.6, and some future

directions.

This episode is based on the material presented at the OpenStack Summit

in the session titled “OVN - Moving to Production.” The

summit talk was recorded and video

and slides

are available. This podcast follows the structure of the slides pretty

closely, making them a useful companion document to look at while

listening, but the episode is meant to stand alone.
