Here’s a quick look at using Envoy as a load balancer in Kubernetes. Via Alex Mitelman’s Systems Design Weekly 015 , I was pointed to this AWS article on multi-site active-active architectures. It’s a good starting point for thinking about operating your own active-active architecture. Networking.

This is an interesting deep dive into Intel’s “Ice Lake” Xeon SP architecture. Teri Radichel uses some basketball analogies to explain why defensive (proactive) security strategies are more desirable than reactive security strategies. (And since Kevin didn’t define TDP—shame, shame!—see

Normally the hardware space is pretty boring (in fact, I’ve been considering removing it from the Technology Short Take series), but HPE decided to shake things up recently with its Synergy servers and “composable architecture”. William Lam breaks down the real value of load balancing your PSC in this in-depth article.

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.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

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. This method may be a bit more complicated, but naturally offers a bit more security.
