Virtualized Greek
APRIL 11, 2013
We are looking at the enterprise that is highly virtualized, which looking at the market means VMware or Hyper-v with or KVM and others to a much lessor extent. I believe I’m of the same ilk of the typical traditional VMware enterprise sysadmin. Most Linux admins wouldn’t have too much of a problem installing the solution.

At DevOps Networking Forum 2016, I had the opportunity to share a presentation on some Linux networking options. I recently came across a couple useful troubleshooting guides, one for Open vSwitch (OVS) and OpenStack Neutron and one for VMware NSX. Have fun reading! Networking. It’s a pretty interesting read, in my opinion.

Or should I say, I haven’t seen a great operating model for seamlessly managing both Windows and Linux. That proved to be more of apples to oranges comparison, but I think the OS example is a good comparison. Hypervisors should be treated the same as Linux and Windows management. We love to compare things in IT.

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.). Networking. Servers/Hardware. Check this out.

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. These posts are a bit slanted toware VMware vSphere environments, but very detailed, very thorough, and very useful.

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? Servers/Hardware.

Erik Hinderer takes a stab (based on his field experience) at estimating how long it takes to upgrade VMware NSX. Christian Kellner talks about work done on Thunderbolt 3 security levels for GNU/Linux. I thought I also saw a VMware blog post on the provider as well, but couldn’t find any link (guess I was mistaken).
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
