Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. has a great blog series going called “Hey, I can DevOps my Network too!” Sometimes I see blog posts that tout themselves as a “deep dive” but aren’t really that deep or detailed. Virtualization. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57.

Welcome to Technology Short Take #51, another collection of posts and links about key data center technologies like networking, virtualization, cloud management, and applications/operating systems. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned Open Virtual Network (OVN) here before, as I’m pretty jazzed about the work going on with this project.

Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? 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). The blog post also discusses a potential fix for the issue, in the form of the “dumb-init” process. Virtualization.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). and their product (VirTool Network Analyzer) is aimed at providing some operational visibility into OpenStack virtual networks. Dusty Mabe has a multi-part blog series on Atomic Host. Virtualization.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Jason Anderson has a nice post on using SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) to expose Docker containers. Welcome to Technology Short Take #53. Networking.

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. That prompted Cody Bunch to write this article on setting up a topology with BGP on Linux using the topology converter , which I’m now mentioning in this Technology Short Take. PowerShell on Cumulus Linux on a network switch? Networking. Does your head hurt yet?).

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. What does this mean? You’re welcome.
