Topic 1 - We’ve known each other for a while, but give our audience some details about your background and what you’re building with Pani.
Topic 2 - You highlight that there are 4 types (use-cases) of SDN in the market today: Enterprise, Carrier (NFV), SD-WAN and now Cloud Native. Let’s talk briefly about each one.
Topic 3 - Let’s talk about the basics of how the Romana Project works - addressing, tenants, IPAM, service discovery
Topic 4 - There’s an interesting trend happening where more intelligence and awareness is getting pushed up into higher-level systems like OpenStack, Kubernetes, etc. - how does this align to an application team vs. an operations team?
Topic 5 - How can people learn more about Pani and Romana, and start to play with the technology?
