While at DockerCon 2016 in Seattle today, I took some time on the expo floor to talk to a number of different vendors, mostly focused on networking solutions.

I recently spoke at Interop 2016 in Las Vegas, and while I was there I scribbled down some notes pertaining to how decomposing applications into microservices-based architectures was similar in some respects to decomposing networks into an overlay network and an underlay (physical) network. Networking. Servers/Hardware.

This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.
