Matt Layher and Armando Migliaccio are engineers focusing on networking at DigitalOcean, a cloud service provider. In April, Justin Pettit and I sat down with them at DigitalOcean HQ in New York City. This episode is our discussion, which ranges from how DO first began using Open vSwitch, the DO approach to network control, to scale and performance issues, upgrade strategy, and the Open vSwitch code that DigitalOcean itself is working to contribute. Previously, Matt gave a talk at Open vSwitch 2017 Fall Conference about the use of Go with Open vSwitch at DigitalOcean. OVS Orbit is produced by Ben Pfaff.
