Networking. I really enjoyed David Gee’s series on the network automation engineer persona ( part 1 , part 2 , part 3 , and part 4 ). David really unpacks the changes that are happening in the networking space and describes the key skills the “next-generation network engineer” will have. Good stuff!

You’ve created the right architecture to collect and store your data and the best way to keep costs low is to leverage what you have. The solution to a storage cost problem is not adding more storage; it’s finding ways to process your data in place. This requires a high-performance database that can bring ML to the data.

Infrastructure Orchestration and Unified Computing are both terms referring to a technology whereby server CPU, I/O, storage connectivity, and network, are all able to be defined and configured in software. And, by abstracting the I/O, both data and storage connections can be converged, further simplifying the network infrastructure.

Networking. Skydive is (in the project’s own words) an “open source real-time network topology and protocols analyzer.” For me, the key takeaway was that you need to carefully examine the architecture of your application(s) in order to understand where serverless (function-as-a-service) is the best fit.
