The rise of the disaggregated network operating system (NOS) marches on: this time, it’s Big Switch Networks announcing expanded hardware support in Open Network Linux (ONL) , upon which its own NOS is based. I use OTR with Adium on OS X, and OTR with Pidgin on my Fedora Linux laptop.). Servers/Hardware.

Oh, did I forget to mention, other than installing Linux, I really shouldn’t be left to my own devices with a Linux console. It’s based on his super popular blog post on the same. The best comparison I have is VMware vSphere. On top of all that, I’m pretty rusty touching deep technology. How is it going?

Another comparison can be made to Blue/Green Deployments which is covered in another section of the DevOps Pro course. The course has three new sections: Deployment Pipelines. AWS Lambda, and. AWS API Gateway.

First up, there’s a great article on using IPVLAN with Docker and Cumulus Linux (with a tie back to sFlow, naturally!). Here’s a walkthrough by Cody Bunch on setting up BGP on Linux with Cumulus Quagga. Kevin Houston has an updated blade server comparison chart that might be helpful in making hardware decisions.

The folks over at Cilium took a look at a recent CNI benchmark comparison and unpacked it a bit.

There’s some good information in their article. Servers/Hardware.

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. NixOS seems to be an interesting re-think of a Linux distribution.

Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. It’s important to note that these security enhancements don’t really represent “net new” functionality but rather reflect existing Linux security constructs now being exposed and usable by Docker.

It’s short and light on details, but it does provide an example snippet of Python code to illustrate what can be done with Netmiko.

Tech blogger John Gruber did the work of decoding what Apple was actually saying in its cryptic cloud gaming statement, the one about Apple’s desire to individually review each and every game, in a blog post last week. But the comparison to Netflix or Spotify is beside the point. It is a nonsensical justification, no doubt about that.
