Month 4-Networking and Storage at Scale

Goal: by the end of week 16 you can (a) explain the CNI spec and trace a Pod-to-Pod packet through a working CNI, (b) install and operate Cilium with eBPF-based dataplane, kube-proxy replacement, and L7 visibility, (c) reason about service-mesh tradeoffs (Istio vs Linkerd vs Cilium Service Mesh), and (d) operate dynamic CSI provisioning at scale with backups and snapshots.
