Weave-npc: Container firewalls in Go
Go is now a popular choice for network and protocol handling code. Taking Weaveworks' Network Policy Controller as an example, Bryan Boreham will show how you can program Linux network facilities including netlink and iptables in Go.
Weave Network Policy Controller (weave-npc) is an implementation of the Kubernetes Network Policy, which specifies allowed connections within a Kubernetes cluster. The code is all written in Go, and available on GitHub under Apache Licence.
