Check the last thing I worked on! I released the first iteration of OpenPERouter, a kubernetes component that mimics a PE Router allowing you to define EVPN tunnels up to the kubernetes node. It integrates with Calico, MetalLB and any bgp speaking component! openperouter.github.io

We are trying to put together a list of MetalLB adopters. If your organization or your product is using MetalLB in a way or another, please file a PR! It would help a project you are using :-) github.com/metallb/meta...

Interested in talking about MetalLB and networking? Want some stickers? Don't be shy and come find me at Kubecon London! I'll be staffing the MetalLB kiosk in the projects area on the morning of Wednesday, 2 April

From the @fosdem.bsky.social stage with @fedepaol.bsky.social and his deep dives into EVPN and k8s. How was it, Federico?

Two days until fosdem, where I'll talk about VXLan, EVPN, Kubernetes, and a lot of other things I have no clue about!

My favorite conference is about to come! I'll talk in the FOSDEM network devroom about how to leverage kind and containerlab to have a full evpn enabled topology in your laptop (and maybe a bit more than that - wink wink)! fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

Yet another post of my EVPN tinkering series, where now I provide EVPN termination to a Kind node attached to a ContainerLab topology by running FRR and other containers as Podman Systemd units (inside Kind!!!). fedepaol.github.io/blog/2025/01...
