Welcome to Technology Short Take #31, my irregularly published series that takes a look at links, posts, articles, and thoughts from around the web related to core data center technologies. Greg Ferro examines a potential SDN use case (an OpenFlow use case) in the form of enterprise firewall migrations. Operating Systems/Applications.

Here’s an interesting article on the role that virtualization is playing in the network functions virtualization (NFV) space now that ARM hardware is growing increasingly powerful. Anthony Burke gives a little bit of a sneak peek at some functionality from the upcoming v3 release of PowerNSX: searching NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules.

OK, now that I’ve mentioned Skydive, I can talk about this article that provides an example of functional SDN testing with Terraform and Skydive. Tony Sangha took PowerNSX (a set of PowerShell cmdlets for interacting with NSX) and created a tool to help document the NSX Distributed Firewall configuration. What’s that? That’s handy.
