Michael Kashin has a handy little tool that functions like ssh-copy-id on servers, but for network devices (leveraging Netmiko). Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). Check out the GitHub repository.

Cumulus Networks recently shifted their pricing and licensing model toward perpetual licenses; this article has more information and a comparison of the old vs. new models. This is not a knock against OpenFlow; the same could be said for any number of (relatively) low-level tools. ZFS will be in the next Ubuntu Linux LTS release.

If you’re looking for more examples of how to incorporate these sorts of tools into your own network automation workflow, I’d recommend having a look at this article. Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. The post also mentions a new version of Windows, Nano Server.

In this episode I talk about how Heartbleed (CVE 2014-0160) was found and also interview Rauli Kaksonen, someone who was at Codenomicon at the time of its discovery and is now a senior security specialist at the University of Oulu in Finland, about how new security tools are still needed to find the next big zero day. Apple Podcasts.

So, the “typical” administrator will have strong Windows skills. If I were to still be in the business of administering servers, I’d be a Windows expert and feel comfortable managing Linux appliances within the environment. This is a different skillset than most administrators that run Windows infrastructures.

Gabriele Gerbino has a nice write-up about Cisco’s efforts with APIs ; his article includes a brief description of YANG data models and a comparison of working with network devices via SSH or via API. Via Cody Bunch, I found this GitHub repository to help set up development environments on Windows.

It’s a Linux gaming PC that runs many but not all Windows games, on the go like a Nintendo Switch, only with way more horsepower, shorter battery life, and a seriously noisy fan. I’ll talk about Windows more later, but TL;DR: I don’t recommend Windows on the Deck at all. Consider this our Steam Deck FAQ.

Our story begins in the 1980s where both the tool used for this discovery and Bash shell were created. After testing Unix, Miller went to fuzz Windows NT and other systems. Worms, by comparison, are able to replicate on their own so the Morris worm exploited an overflow vulnerability in Finger to spread from system to system.

For reasons that (hopefully) will become clear in the relatively near future, I decided I needed to take a look at Consul , a distributed service discovery tool and key value store. Consul is also a service discovery tool. I know Consul’s description sounds like a mouthful of buzzwords, but it’s pretty accurate. Consul is distributed.

Although this post is a bit older (it’s from September of last year), it’s still an interesting comparison of both OpenStack and CloudStack. If you’re just now getting into the whole configuration management scene where tools like Puppet, Chef, and others play, you might find this article helpful. What’s that?

It’s actual “eyes” are the variety of sensors and cameras packed into the base of the unit, things like ultrasonic sensors, time-of-flight cameras, and other imaging tools that let the robot know what’s around it and where it’s going. For those interested, the Astro’s functionality is built on top of Fire OS and Linux.

HPE will be bundling Docker with every ProLiant server (though I still haven’t seen anything around the Linux distribution that will be used). The common link is, naturally, the container.

It’s got an ARM processor, and it runs Linux and we’re off to the races. Windows is open. Things like Steam were created on Windows, because Gabe and the team could go build an app on Windows products. Frankly, Chrome was built on Windows. I’ve seen it work on Windows—. I do fundamentally believe that.
