Summary
In this chapter, we covered the practical use of SDN with KVM virtualization. We installed Open vSwitch and configured it to facilitate virtual networking for VMs. We also implemented advanced networking features such as VLANs, overlay networks, port mirroring, and so on, and then learned about the open source SDN controllers on the OpenDaylight market. The last section of the chapter covered general troubleshooting steps for Open vSwitch.
In the next chapter, we will learn about the configuration of oVirt and familiarize ourselves with the advanced enterprise virtualization features it provides.
