Episode 100 — Software-Defined Networking — Control Plane and Data Plane
In this episode, we detail how Software-Defined Networking (SDN) separates the control plane, which makes traffic management decisions, from the data plane, which forwards traffic. This separation enables centralized network management, automation, and rapid deployment of new configurations across complex environments.
We also explore use cases like dynamic load balancing, security policy enforcement, and network segmentation in cloud infrastructures. The Cloud+ exam often requires understanding SDN architecture, benefits, and potential challenges in deployment.
