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.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. The post is a bit geeky but quite informative, and worth reading if SSH bastion hosts are a key part of your architecture. Who would have thought that one day you’d refer to a Microsoft web site for instructions on configuring something in Linux?

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.
