ACI Meeting!

•Container Networking

•OpenStack Integration

Overview

• ACI enables containers networking with Policy:

• No need for network configuration

• Automatic Policy mapping

• Scale in and out the network with container growth

• Using Containers as an application is transparent for the network engineer when ACI is used.

• ACI brings structure to container networking

• ACI allows direct policy mapping between switch network configuration and container usage
