CNCF TAG Network and Cloud Native Network Landscape
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Friday, 2025-04-04· at 11:00· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 7-9·
summary
CNCF is consolidating groups so TAG Network merging into TAG Infrastructure while keeping the same network focus and community channels; expect biweekly meetings, GitHub, Slack and a mailing list for contributions. Landscape highlights include Cilium, Istio, Linkerd, CoreDNS, NATS, Emissary/Envoy Gateway and gRPC plus sandbox entries like Loxy LB, NQuadrant and KubeSlice that enables KubeSlice multi-cluster failover. Live demo shows Kuma Mesh eBPF data plane doing dynamic header routing and a reproducible 90/10 traffic split that verifies behavior end to end.
