There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Networking. Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Russ White shares Russ' rules for network design. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve gathered a few technology-related links for you all. Servers/Hardware.

Networking. Michael Kashin has a great article on how Open Virtual Network (OVN, part of the Open vSwitch project) implements virtual networks in OpenStack. 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. Good advice.

Wireguard, if you’re not familiar, is a relatively new solution that is baked into recent Linux kernels. Since the configuration of the clients and the servers is largely the same (especially since both client and server are Linux), I haven’t separated out the two configurations. There is also support for other OSes.)

Networking. Michael Ryom has a nice (but short) article on using Log Insight along with a NetFlow proxy to help provide more detailed visibility into traffic flows between VMs on NSX logical networks. BGP seems to be emerging as an early front-runner for a standards-based control plane for software networking. Servers/Hardware.

Networking. Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. has a great blog series going called “Hey, I can DevOps my Network too!” This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems.
