A big reason is the proliferation of micro-services based applications in highly redundant and highly available cloud infrastructures. Add to that a desire for most enterprises to integrate cloud based workloads with legacy on-premises applications, and we have complex hybrid cloud deployments to deal with as the result.

I think this three-part series on new network models for cloud computing ( part 1 , part 2 , and part 3 ), while almost a year old, is quite good. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. This is an awesome overview of the OpenStack Folsom architecture , courtesy of Ken Pepple. Definitely worth reading, in my view.

Recep talks about how the predominant architecture for network virtualization involves the use of overlay networks created and managed at the edge by virtual switches in the hypervisors. Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. So how does this work?

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).

Another good resource is Dan Hersey’s guide to building an SDN-based private cloud in an hour. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. I might have mentioned this before, but Ken Pepple’s OpenStack Folsom architecture post is just awesome. Feel free to share something in the comments! Ben Armstrong shows how here.

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. ssh/keyfile.pem.
