Why is TURN essential for Kubernetes networking?

On episode 99 of WebRTC Live, Peter Megyesi, CEO at L7mp, discusses how TURN servers are crucial when you're scaling your Kubernetes infrastructure.

“We like to say that if you're in Kubernetes and you want to use the normal networking so that you can use all the features that Kubernetes provides you, there is no other option than to use a TURN server. So, TURN is different than STUN. TURN is basically a relay. So, you as a user can connect to a TURN server, and then the media server can connect to the same TURN server, let's say, and then it can just hook your traffic together. So that's kind of cool. That's a basic idea. You can use different type of TURN, but that's the most popular because that's the easiest to implement.”
