I recently came across a couple useful troubleshooting guides, one for Open vSwitch (OVS) and OpenStack Neutron and one for VMware NSX. Matt Oswalt recently unveiled (and open sourced) a framework called ToDD, which stands for “Testing on Demand: Distributed”. VMware recently GA’d version 6.2 Servers/Hardware.

VMware recently released a reference design guide for NSX-T; see here for more details. Dimitri de Swart has a write-up on LAMP stacks made easy with VMware and Puppet. Looks like PKS, the joint Kubernetes effort from VMware and Pivotal, has gone GA (see this VMware blog post ) with initial support for vSphere and GCP.

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. Acra is open source and available via GitHub. This is great news, and something VMware needed to do. Virtualization.

Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). John Welsh has a post on why someone might use VMware NSX. This was the source of some confusion in the past; the move to Moby sidesteps those concerns. Check out the GitHub repository.

Dwayne Sinclair (an NSX SE at VMware) has a write-up on what micro-segmentation is not. VMware open-sourced an identity and access management service called Lightwave ( project web site , GitHub repo ). Good stuff here—I highly recommend reading this paper. You may recall that last year (like that was so long ago!)
