This session was titled “IPv6 Microsegmentation,” and the speaker was Ivan Pepelnjak. The session starts with a discussion of the problems found in Layer 2 IPv6 networks. Note that some of these attacks are also common to IPv4 and are not necessarily unique to IPv6. These protections are also expensive to implement in hardware.

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. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Servers/Hardware. The post is a bit geeky but quite informative, and worth reading if SSH bastion hosts are a key part of your architecture. John Kozej has a write-up on an NSX logical switch packet walk. Not sure what a bastion host is? Read this post.)

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Servers/Hardware Kevin Houston provides some instructions on backing up the Dell PowerEdge MX7000 settings and configurations. Frank Denneman digs into Sapphire Rapids memory configurations (Sapphire Rapids is Intel’s 4th generation Scalable Processor Architecture).

Servers/Hardware. Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? GitHub recently changed their storage architecture, using a Git-based solution called DGit. Nothing this time around. 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.
