Welcome to part 11 of the Learning NSX blog series, in which I provide a high-level overview of the basics on integrating VMware NSX into an OpenStack deployment using OpenStack Neutron. And, as I’ve already mentioned, the network node provides DHCP services to all the logical networks as well.

In this post, I’m going to build on my earlier introduction to CoreOS by taking a slightly more detailed look at etcd. etcd is a distributed key-value store (more on that in a moment) and is one of the key technologies that I feel distinguishes CoreOS from other Linux distributions. Data Organization in etcd.

Welcome to Technology Short Take #39, in which I share a random assortment of links, articles, and thoughts from around the world of data center-related technologies. I hope you find something useful—or at least something interesting! I can’t help but wonder if this is the right level at which to put the abstraction layer.

This post is a week late (I try to publish these every other Friday), so my apologies for the delay. Sorry, I don’t have anything this time around. In this respect, it seems similar to HexaTier , a company I spoke with last year (as of this writing, the HexaTier product was no longer available per their website). Networking.

This year at VMworld, I wasn’t in any of the breakout sessions because employees aren’t allowed to register for breakout sessions in advance; we have to wait in the standby line to see if we can get in at the last minute. Here’s the write-up on some of the vendor meetings I’ve attended while in San Francisco.

One of the most common questions people ask us is, “Do I need to have an IT background to start using AWS?” A VPC, or Virtual Private Cloud, is another critical piece of Amazon Web Services architecture. Think about how Facebook is organized: you have your profile page, and your friends have pages of their own.

As always, I hope you find something useful here. Looks like this is another tool I need to add to my toolbox as I continue to explore networking technologies like OpenFlow, Open vSwitch, and others. I’m a CLI fan, so I like this sort of stuff. Networking. Who out there has played around with Mininet yet?

I have quite a bit of information to share this time around, so buckle up and let’s get started! Michael Webster isn’t a name that normally pops up here in the Networking section of my Technology Short Takes, but he recently wrote an article on installing Cumulus Linux from a MacBook Pro that I thought might be handy.

Bob McCouch has a post over at Network Computing (where I’ve recently started blogging as well—see my first post ) discussing his view on how software-defined networking (SDN) will trickle down to small and mid-sized businesses. I don’t know. I love the commandlinefu.com site. Very cool stuff, in my opinion.

You can also see all DockerCon 2017-related posts by browsing the posts tagged with “DockerCon2017” (see the links at the bottom of this page). I’m not sure I can agree with Kocherlakota’s implied association between virtualization and some of their technical headaches (painful patching, for example—how is that a virtualization problem?),

I’m assuming that you’re already reasonably familiar with CoreOS, etcd, and Docker. While the example I’m going to provide here is fairly simple, it should serve as a reasonable basis upon which to build later. These are topics I hope to be able to explore here in the near future. An Overview of Fleet.
