Aflevering #126 From 135 Ms To 6 Ms: The Multi-Cloud Networking Mistake Everyone Makes

In episode 126 of De Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast, Ronald and Jan sit down with Chris Noon, Technical Solution Director at Alkira, to talk about one of the most underestimated challenges in cloud-native environments: networking. Chris shares his journey from traditional telco and enterprise networking, through VMware NSX, to modern cloud and Kubernetes platforms. The conversation dives deep into why networking often becomes more complex—not less—once organizations adopt multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and Kubernetes at scale. Key topics include: - Why IPsec meshes don’t scale in multi-cloud environments - How “hair-pinning” traffic across regions creates massive latency - Alkira’s cloud-native approach to connecting AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem - Networking considerations around Kubernetes, CNI’s, and Zero Trust - DORA compliance, security architecture, and data sovereignty - Why AI workloads make networking and data placement more critical than ever A great episode for anyone who realizes that cloud-native doesn’t end at Kubernetes—it starts with solid network architecture.
