Key technologies include VXLAN for encapsulating Layer 2 traffic over Layer 3 networks, EVPN for the control plane, software-defined networking platforms like VMware NSX and Cisco ACI, and modern Linux kernel networking for cloud-native environments. Each addresses different aspects of virtualization, and most production deployments use several together. The technology landscape is mature enough that proven patterns exist for most use cases.
