Here’s a fresh new collection of links and articles from the around the web to propel myself back into blogging. These two articles are interesting (to me) because they combine both network automation and Kubernetes. David Holder walks through removing unused load balancer IP allocations in NSX-T when used with PKS.

Welcome to Technology Short Take #25, my irregularly-published collection of links, articles, thoughts, and rants. Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post. Virtualization. my apologies for that.

Before I present this episode’s collection of links, articles, and thoughts on various data center technologies, allow me to first wish all of my readers a very merry and very festive holiday season. Mustafa Akin has an article on Docker’s new overlay networking functionality. Now, on to the content! Networking. This looks handy.

Using 1 GbE would have required too many ports, too many cables, and too many switches; 10 GbE offered Expedient a 23% reduction in cables and ports, a 14% reduction in infrastructure costs, and offered a significant bandwidth improvement (compared to the previous 1 GbE architecture). This article was originally posted on blog.scottlowe.org.

N-Tier architectures and micro-services applications must be tuned for performance. High speed low latency networks now allow us to add these nodes anywhere in a cloud infrastructure and configure them under existing load balancers. So the question is now not whether to deploy, but when, where, why and how? Conclusions.

For now, though, I have a small collection of articles and links for your reading pleasure—not as many as I usually include in a Technology Short Take, but better than nothing at all (I hope!). Baptiste Collard has a post on Kubernetes controllers for AWS load balancers. Virtualization. Networking.

The first concept that Recep discusses is network virtualization. He believes that network virtualization is primarily about decoupling network services from the underlying network infrastructure. The specific terminology involved is that the virtual switches become a VTEP, a virtual tunnel end-point.

With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites. So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. . Featured Cloud Articles.

Our platform is built on a sophisticated microservices architecture that consists of several distinct microservices which handle various features and functionality to deliver mission-critical solutions to our end users. Overcoming these challenges necessitates not only creative thinking but also practical solutions.

Once again this comes back to Intel’s rack-scale architecture work.) A traditional SRF architecture can be replicated with COTS hardware using multi-queue NICs and multi-core/multi-socket CPUs. Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB). Gbps/watt versus 0.37

Mirantis published an article discussing a framework they built for bare-metal provisioning with OpenStack that allows OpenStack to place workloads onto bare-metal nodes instead of onto a hypervisor. I don’t have anything for this area this time around, but I’ll stay alert for articles to add next time. Virtualization.

Insights into Data Center Infrastructure, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing. When a new server (physical or virtual) is created, much of this infrastructure also has to be provisioned to support it. That is, I/O is virtualized, networking is frequently converged (i.e. a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

Note that even though fleet helps with scheduling containers across a cluster of systems, fleet doesn’t address some of the other significant challenges that arise from an architecture based on distributed micro-services in containers. However, the basic architecture I’ve shown you here can be extended.
