Teammate Alex Brand has a look at VMware’s new OVS-based CNI plugin, Antrea. I recently saw an article stating that VMware is going to use Minio as the object storage platform for Kubernetes, but the evidence presented in the article is anything but convincing. Servers/Hardware. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

Docker Machine also supports local hypervisors, such as VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. In this post, I’ll show you how to use Docker Machine with KVM and Libvirt on a Linux host (I’m using Fedora 27 as an example). This is where having virsh available is really handy.).

Flavio Leitner has a nice article comparing OVS internal ports with Linux veth devices. This topic is the subject of some debate given that some claim OVS internal ports perform much better than Linux veth devices. Along with Docker, VMware worked with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) to prepare a security benchmark for Docker 1.6

Some folks from Nicira (now part of VMware) recently published a blog post discussing the OVSDB IETF draft (see here ). I came across this post on CloudFoundry’s User Account and Authentication Service (the UAA). Only a true geek would be interested in this, but here’s some information on running OpenBSD in KVM on Linux.

Cumulus VX, if you aren’t aware, is a community-supported virtual appliance version of Cumulus Linux aimed at helping folks preview and test “full-blown” Cumulus Linux (which, of course, requires compatible hardware). Dwayne Sinclair (an NSX SE at VMware) has a write-up on what micro-segmentation is not. Good stuff Juan!

Along those lines, one of their latest articles discusses how to achieve identity-based mutual authentication leveraging eBPF. This will become even more useful, in my opinion, when Linux support is added. The possibility of a Vagrant provider just seals the deal, in my opinion.). Career/Soft Skills.

You’ll need Ansible installed on the system where you’ll be running Vagrant and the appropriate back-end virtualization platform (I tested this with VMware Fusion , but there’s nothing VMware-specific here). For example, I wanted to verify some of the facts that are gathered by Ansible across various Linux distributions.

This led Docker to work with a number of other companies to build a secure, lean, portable Linux subsystem. LinuxKit is a lean, portable, and secure Linux subsystem. Other companies involved in LinuxKit include IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the Linux Foundation. The result of this effort is LinuxKit.
