S9|E34 An Innovative Approach to Cloud-Native Application Architecture

Businesses are shifting to microservice-based application architectures, which support rapid development with their flexibility, stability, security, and scale. At the same time, these architectures present new connectivity and security challenges that require us to move away from traditional approaches. In this session, we’ll show how Cisco is applying its 30 years of networking leadership to cloud-native application architectures with Calisti, Cisco’s new Service Mesh Manager. You’ll also hear about Panoptica, the Cisco Secure Application Cloud, which applies Cisco security leadership to cloud-native architectures. Finally, we will have an open discussion about additional technology development initiatives led by Cisco’s Emerging Technologies & Incubation team. (2:56) What does the Emerging Technologies & Incubation team do? (5:49) Introduction of Calisti and Panoptica (15:08) Can you automate gradually steering traffic with Calisti? (18:06) Is Calisti a load balancer or is changing something in the flow? (19:50) Can you talk about how we use Calisti to provide actionable insights? (24:45) Does that include Talos solutions? (26:16) What is Panoptica? (34:30) Do you provide training? (36:50) Regarding Panoptica, is this something that sits in line or is it not on path? (40:30) What are some of the other innovations coming from ET&I? (42:30) When you hear quantum, what do you think of? (43:15) What is quantum networking?
