Re: BGP in a containers

I run BGP (bird) on containers in a high available production environment for supporting multiple kubernetes clusters, 
among other very critical pieces of my infrastructure. 
As long as you know what you’re doing and have people that knows how to troubleshoot, it's very reliable. the fact that 
you’re using containers shouldn’t matter which BGP daemon you will decide using. if you’re comfortable with quagga, 
containerize quagga.  if you like gobgp, use gobgp. they all can be containerized and will work fine if the all the 
underlying foundation is proper configured.

I am working on an personal experiment and was wondering what is the best
option for running BGP in a docker base container. I have seen a lot blogs
and docs referencing Quagga. I just want to make sure I am not over looking
any other options before I dive in. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Please don't let this be an actual thing with something as critical as BGP.
