In his session at QCon London 2025, Louis Ryan, CTO of Solo.io, addressed the complexities of hybrid cloud-native networking. He emphasized that while delivering a useful network has always been difficult, it is increasingly challenging due to factors like containerization and multi-cloud strategies. Ryan urged platform teams to rethink networking as a fundamental design consideration, emphasizing that successful implementation requires not just the right tools, but a thoughtful integration of systems to create secure and effective communication pathways across various environments.
Ryan's message was a call to action: networking must not be an afterthought. Architects and engineers need to prioritize it with deliberate design principles.
The session aimed to convey that building a functional hybrid network requires a thoughtful assembly of components, rather than just choosing the right tools.
