Using VXLAN and EVPN to Build Active-Active Data Centers
Some (anti)patterns of network industry are way too predictable: every time there’s a new technology marketers start promoting it as the solution for every problem ever imagined. VXLAN was quickly touted as the solution for long-distance vMotion, and now everyone is telling you how to use VXLAN with EVPN to stretch VLANs across multiple data centers.
Does that make sense? It might… based on your requirements and features available on the devices you use to implement the VXLAN/EVPN fabric. We’ll cover the details in a day-long workshop in Zurich (Switzerland) on December 5th. There are still a few places left, register here.
But you would be disappointed about the answer to the problem ;)
Spoiler alert: it works best when you have the right application architecture... and stretched VLANs make little sense if you care about reliability or availability.
Besides, I've been eyeing a few other webinars aswell recently, so it's about time I get myself a subscription =)
L2 stretching is empathically not the use case.
