Additionally, many high-end HPC applications take advantage of knowing their in-house hardware platforms to achieve major speedup by exploiting the specific processor architecture. There is no more need for hardware tinkering to keep the clusters up and running (I spent many nights doing this; there is no glory in it).

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. Servers/Hardware.

Servers/Hardware. VMware’s Cloud-Native Apps group recently released v0.8 Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? GitHub recently changed their storage architecture, using a Git-based solution called DGit. This one isn’t quite virtualization, but isn’t quite hardware either, so we’ll throw it in here. Maybe next time!

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Servers/Hardware. A lot of people think tools like Consul are only valuable in “next-generation” microservices-based architectures, but Benny’s article shows how it can add a lot of value in “traditional” architectures. Networking.
