Amit Aneja has a two-part series (so far) explaining the routing architecture in NSX-T (which brings multi-hypervisor and multi-cloud support to the NSX platform). Sam McGeown has a nice diagram of the communications channels between the various VMware NSX components. Michael Wittig shares some details on migrating to Amazon Linux 2.

Noorali starts out with a quick introduction/overview of Helm, likening it to yum or apt for Linux packages. This leads Noorali into a high-level description of some of the features planned for Helm v3, which will move to an entirely client-side architecture (no more Tiller, yay!). Helm v2.12.0 (the

Looking for a step-by-step install guide for VMware NSX? Ray Budavari—who is an absolutely fantastic NSX resource—has a blog post up on the integration between VMware NSX and vRealize Automation. If you’d like to play around with Cumulus Linux but don’t have a compatible hardware switch, Cumulus VX is the answer. Networking.

As opposed to just encrypting data at the transport level (although Acra does that between components of its architecture) or just encrypting data at the storage level (using an encrypted file system or similar), Acra targets encrypting data at the table/row/column level within a database. Acra is open source and available via GitHub.

Romain Decker has an “under the hood” look at the VMware NSX load balancer. I’ll keep an eye open for links to include next time around. The popular open source container registry project, Harbor , has released a new version (version 1.2). Richard Arnold shares some thoughts on VMware Cloud on AWS.

This is an awesome overview of the OpenStack Folsom architecture , courtesy of Ken Pepple. Only a true geek would be interested in this, but here’s some information on running OpenBSD in KVM on Linux.

Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. This Yelp Engineering blog post talks about one of these unintended side effects (processes running as PID 1 are treated differently by the Linux kernel). Operating Systems/Applications.

This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems. The Windows architecture is so dramatically different from UNIX/Linux that trying to adapt per-process containers is quite naturally going to be more than a little bit challenging.

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.

The best way to describe Docker is to use the phrase from the Docker web site—Docker is “an open source project to pack, ship and run any application as a lightweight container.” While Docker currently leverages LXC, the Docker architecture isn’t necessarily limited to LXC.
