BGP Peering Patterns for Kubernetes Networking at Preferred Networks - Sho Shimizu, Preferred Networks, Inc. & Yutaro Hayakawa, Isovalent at Cisco

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is increasingly being used to connect Kubernetes networking with the rest of the IT estate, especially in large-scale and on-premises environments. However, the complexity of many network architectures requires users to have more flexibility and control over how they deploy BGP. Based on the experience at Preferred Networks, this session introduces key BGP peering patterns that enhance Kubernetes networking while maintaining operational simplicity, including:

1. The Sidecar BGP Peering Pattern: A method of running a dedicated BGP speaker alongside Kubernetes networking components, balancing automation with fine-grained control.
2. Native Routing over IP Clos Networks – A tunneling-free approach that integrates Kubernetes with large-scale BGP-based datacenter fabrics for better performance.

Based on real-world experience, we will share best practices and lessons learned, helping attendees design scalable and reliable Kubernetes networking with BGP.
