In this post, I’m going to provide a very quick introduction to CoreOS. CoreOS, in case you haven’t heard of it, is a highly streamlined Linux distribution designed with containers, massive server deployments, and distributed systems/applications in mind. A Brief Introduction to Linux Containers with LXC.

This was an important step in educating myself on Linux, KVM, libvirt, and Open vSwitch (OVS), all of which are critical core components in most installations of OpenStack. The only consistency appeared to be with Ubuntu, as virtually (no pun intended) all my KVM guests were running Ubuntu. Linux Virtualization KVM'

Russell Bryant has a post on Open Virtual Network (OVN) , a project within the Open vSwitch (OVS) community. beta version of containerD (see this post by Docker , or visit the GitHub page for the cri-containerd plugin ). File this under “Interesting But Otherwise Useless” Unless I’m missing something?

While I’m a bit short on links in some areas, hopefully this is outweighed by some good content in other areas. Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). I’m looking forward to future chapters in this series. Virtualization. Networking.

Craig Matsumoto of SDN Central helps highlight a recent (and fairly significant) development in networking protocols—the submission of the Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) proposal to the IETF. This next round of hardware offloads seems targeted at network virtualization and related technologies.

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.

Given my previous role at EMC (involved in storage) and my current role at VMware focused on network virtualization (which encompasses SDN), I was quite curious. Even so, I’m going to keep an eye on Jeda to see how things progress. Jeda Networks describes themselves as a “software-defined storage networking” company.

I’m talking about the aerospace village, and how it’s bringing security to the airplanes we all fly and how that’s a good thing. Vamosi: I’m doubling down on this only because it points to a fundamental problem with serious hacking. Often when a flaw is first reported, the vendor will push back.

Why I should have this book is elementary: Not because I'm planning on getting certified like most, but because I know LINUX & OS/X intimately and SBS 2011 is neither of those. I want the book because within its pages lie keys to knowledge, tips, and tricks, that someone like me should put to good use. Virtualization.

I’m a CLI fan, so I like this sort of stuff. Brad Hedlund (who will be my co-worker starting on 2/11) created a great explanation of network virtualization that clearly breaks down the components and explains their purpose and function. Virtualization. Is that a reasonable summary, Ivan?). Great job, Brad.

He makes comparisons among server virtualization, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and SDN, and feels that in order for SDN to really hit this market it needs to be “not a user-facing feature, but rather a means to an end” (his words). Erik Smith at EMC has published a series of articles on “virtual storage networks.”

Here’s Robert M. So there’s a need, a definite need, for information security professionals to have access to industrial control systems -- not virtual, but actual hands on systems -- so they can learn. Vamosi: And a lot of these systems do not use the familiar Linux Mac Windows operating systems.

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. You can use fleetctl help to get more information, or visit the fleet GitHub page. ssh/keyfile.pem.

At this point, every platform has a virtual storefront, so there’s always room for a few gift cards, and unlike hardware or collectibles, scalpers can’t buy up all the digital media before you can get to the store. I’m still vaguely surprised this exists at all. Metroid Dread. Resident Evil Village.
