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). Setting up Software FCoE on vSphere 5.

As much as 3 years ago, the company was anticipating "virtualization sprawl", the need for automating VMs, the expectation that IT environments will have both physical and virtual machines, and the fact that "you shouldnt care what machines your software runs on, so long as you meet your SLA".

Fast and frequent releases of production-ready software now slide though automated tests, staging and into production infrastructures. N-Tier architectures and micro-services applications must be tuned for performance. The post AIOps and our Robot Kubernetes Kops appeared first on Linux Academy Blog.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

Converged Infrastructure and Unified Computing are both terms referring to technology where the complete server profile, including I/O (NICs, HBAs, KVM), networking (VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.), and storage connectivity (LUN mapping, switch control) are all abstracted and defined/configured in software.

This is very much analogous to how OS virtualization componentizes and abstracts OS and application software stacks. The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc.

Building general purpose architectures has always been hard; there are often so many conflicting requirements that you cannot derive an architecture that will serve all, so we have often ended up focusing on one side of the requirements that allow you to serve that area really well. From CPU to GPU. General Purpose GPU programming.

If you’re interested in learning more about OpenFlow and software-defined networking but need to do this on a shoestring budget in your home lab, a number of guides have been written to help out. I might have mentioned this before, but Ken Pepple’s OpenStack Folsom architecture post is just awesome. Networking.
