In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain. Jeff Geerling has a great article on why he returned his 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar ; it’s definitely worth a read, in my opinion. Some people love it, others absolutely hate it.

The end of 2016 is nearly upon us, and it looks as if there will be only one more Technology Short Take before the end of the year. In case you’re interested, here’s more details on CVE-2016-5195 , aka “Dirty Cow,” and how it might be used to allow a user to escape from a Linux container (like a Docker container). Networking.

Although Rowan doesn’t specifically mention it, this command relies on tools like tr , sort , and uniq , so I’m guessing it will only work on OS X/Linux/*BSD systems.

I’ve just wrapped up KubeCon/CloudNativeCon 2016 in Seattle, WA. One could look at DaemonSets (which are used to ensure that a particular pod is always running on every node; useful for “infrastructure” services like logging, storage, monitoring, etc.) Here are my thoughts, hopefully presented in a somewhat logical fashion.
