In comparison, there were only 66 years between the Wright brothers’ first flight and humans landing on the moon (See belief #1). We even copied that perimeter defense strategy to our cloud environments by building virtual firewalls to control access to those applications. As mentioned, we had to do this because it was the only way.

This is kind of cool, and (in my humble opinion) a sign of changing times: Juniper has Vagrant boxes as well as a Vagrant plugin for working with vSRX (virtual firewall) VMs (via this article from Matt Oswalt). Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. Servers/Hardware.

Russell Pope at Kovarus recently wrote about using security groups to manage the VMware NSX distributed firewall. Personally, I think it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison, since Kubernetes is more than just a scheduler (think about replication controllers and services and such), but to each his own.

Anthony Burke (disclaimer: Anthony works for VMware in the NSBU) has a post on how to use Python to automate the bulk creation of firewall rules for use with the VMware NSX distributed firewall. I found this post comparing Ansible and Salt to be quite helpful, particularly given some of the comparisons with Puppet.

In this post , Jakub Sitnicki digs way deep into the Linux kernel to uncover the answer to the question, “Why are there no entries in the conntrack table for SYN packets dropped by the firewall?” Patrick Kremer writes about using vRealize Log Insight Cloud to monitor for firewall changes in a VMware Cloud on AWS environment.

Poonen revisits the VMware Workspace Suite announcement from yesterday, drawing a comparison between vCloud Suite for SDDC and the Workspace Suite for EUC. There is a nice demo of integrations between vCAC and NSX, where vCAC creates NSX security groups (with associated firewall rules) on-demand as part of a blueprint.
