Integrates Arista EOS with Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform and Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition
Booth S52-- Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today unveiled a
technology preview of Arista’s Any Cloud platform for Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, and Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition,
providing a consistent and more secure enterprise-class solution
for Kubernetes-managed container workloads spanning host-based and
physical network infrastructure. The core of the solution
integrates Arista containerized Extensible Operating System (cEOS®)
and CloudVision® software into the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing
Foundation) framework.
A key element of the solution, Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition,
enables zero trust network security and continuous compliance for
Kubernetes platforms across public and private clouds, building on
Tigera’s industry-standard open source Calico technology. The
technology preview will be demonstrated at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon
North America 2018 in Seattle, Washington this week.
“Extensible software is the basis of Arista's strategy. With
Arista EOS® and CloudVision delivering on that principle, we are
continually able to extend our products into new use-cases. Through
our collaboration with Red Hat and Tigera, our software can help
simplify and secure these new containerized networking use-cases,”
said Ken Duda, Senior Vice President and CTO of Arista
Networks.
Extending the Arista Any Cloud platform
With support for Red Hat OpenShift and Tigera Secure, Arista
provides enhanced security capabilities for enterprise customers
deploying cloud native and containerized applications on private,
hybrid and public clouds. This integration extends the already
available EOS-based products in an open and scalable ecosystem
consisting of:
- Arista cEOS integration with Tigera
Secure container networking and network security based on Calico
open source project
- Arista vEOS cloud-grade routing as a
connectivity platform for Kubernetes clusters running in
on-premises private clouds and on public cloud infrastructures
- Arista EOS and CloudVision software
with Container Tracer available on all Arista platforms, now
supporting Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes to provide visibility of
the container workloads and connectivity to the network
operators
These architectural components provide customers with a
consistent and simplified solution for securing their multi-cloud
networks while helping to reduce operational costs and provide
enhanced security segmentation for containerized workloads in
Kubernetes.
The new extension of Arista EOS for Kubernetes users delivers
three key attributes for customers scaling out their Kubernetes
deployments: a completely standards-based platform for extended
network segmentation and policy framework based on Tigera’s
commercialized Calico implementation; improved compliance through
cognitive controls in Arista CloudVision with Container Tracer
functionality; and new features in Arista’s EOS platforms with
integrated cloud-grade routing using industry-standard BGP routing
protocols. These fundamentals provide enterprise customers with a
consistent and simplified solution for securing their networks,
helping to reduce operational costs and mitigate security
threats.
Arista Any Cloud Platform for Kubernetes
The new solution uses Arista virtual and cEOS software instances
to provide a uniform enterprise-class/cloud-grade routing platform
with enhanced visibility and security features tied into OpenShift
and Calico commercial enterprise platforms from Red Hat and Tigera.
Arista EOS is the core of Arista cloud networking solutions for
next-generation datacenters and cloud networks. Cloud architectures
built with Arista EOS scale to hundreds of thousands of compute and
storage nodes with management and provisioning capabilities that
work at scale.
All EOS standard APIs and automation, operations, and visibility
capabilities are supported by the Any Cloud platform for Kubernetes
as well as Arista advanced state streaming and telemetry for
real-time troubleshooting and forensics. No changes to the
Kubernetes environment are required because the Arista Any Cloud
solution leverages the standard open source container networking
interface (CNI) as defined by the CNCF, of which Arista is a
member.
Availability
Arista cEOS with support for Tigera Secure Enterprise Edition is
available now for selected technology preview customers, with a
planned General Availability in 2019. CloudVision Container Tracer
support for Kubernetes is available now in the current version of
CloudVision software. All other components of the solution from
Arista technology partners are available today.
