David Holder walks through removing unused load balancer IP allocations in NSX-T when used with PKS. Kief Morris, the author behind the O’Reilly Infrastructure as Code book (see my review here) has launched a website that provides infrastructure patterns (re-usable frameworks for creating infrastructure).

Normally the hardware space is pretty boring (in fact, I’ve been considering removing it from the Technology Short Take series), but HPE decided to shake things up recently with its Synergy servers and “composable architecture”. William Lam breaks down the real value of load balancing your PSC in this in-depth article.

HPs BladeSystem Matrix architecture is based on VirtualConnect infrastructure, and bundled with a suite of mostly existing HP software (Insight Dynamics - VSE, Orchestration, Recovery, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager) which itself consists of about 21 individual products. But how revolutionary and simplifying are they?

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.

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.

Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). 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.
