Colin Lynch shares some details on his journey with VMware NSX (so far). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Operating Systems/Applications. Servers/Hardware. This other post by Cody on automated Windows 10 post-install may also be useful.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Massimo Re Ferre has a great article discussing VMware Cloud on AWS versus Azure Stack and breaking down the differences between the two approaches. Operating Systems/Applications. Networking. RIP Solaris.

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. Operating Systems/Applications. Servers/Hardware.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Operating Systems/Applications. Flatpak is a (relatively) new application packaging/sandboxing mechanism for Linux applications. I won’t steal Matt’s thunder; go have a look at the post yourself to see if you agree with his assessment.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). If you’re into the VMware homelab thing (and I know quite a few folks are), then William’s article on interesting homelab kits for 2023 might be right up your alley. Rob Novak shares his experience in replacing Meraki with TP-Link Omada. Wonder no longer.

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Operating Systems/Applications. Keep up the great work, Brent!)

Operating Systems/Applications. Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? A conversation with a very talented engineer at VMware drew me to this post on EVO SDDC workload domains , published by Jason Lochhead.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Operating Systems/Applications. It appears that applications that were written for Nano Server may require some porting/modification, which in turn may negatively impact the adoption of Nano Server among Microsoft’s customers and ISVs. Networking.

This is the kick-off to a series of posts introducing networking concepts to VMware administrators. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten in speaking to VMware admins, networking is an area in which a lot of VMware-focused folks aren’t particularly comfortable. There’s a reason I’m mentioning all of this.
