Welcome to Technology Short Take #43, another episode in my irregularly-published series of articles, links, and thoughts from around the web, focusing on data center technologies like networking, virtualization, storage, and cloud computing. Networking. Jason Edelman recently took a look at Docker networking. Servers/Hardware.

Networking. If you’re not familiar with VPCs and associated AWS constructs, you should read this article. Scott McCarty explains sVirt and how it’s used to isolate Linux containers. Operating Systems/Applications. on various technology areas. It’s really good. Servers/Hardware.

Networking. I think this three-part series on new network models for cloud computing ( part 1 , part 2 , and part 3 ), while almost a year old, is quite good. Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post.

Networking. To help resolve this issue, Cumulus Networks (and possibly Metacloud, I’m not sure of their involvement yet) has release an open source project called vxfld. I’d love to hear from more networking pros (please disclose company affiliations) about their thoughts on this matter.

Networking. Cisco shared some thoughts on what they termed a “software-only” approach; naturally, they have a different vision for data center networking (and that’s OK). I found this write-up on using OVS port mirroring with Security Onion for intrusion detection and network security monitoring.

Networking. Tyler Christiansen recently published a post on a network automation workflow that was based on a presentation he gave at the SF Network Automation meetup. This article by Russell Bryant is a great overview and update of the work going on with Open Virtual Network (OVN). Operating Systems/Applications.

For some people, for instance, a router might be internet of things for other people it might not be it might be considered network infrastructure. So what then makes IoT hacking different from say traditional network hacking. Is that a traditional networking attack, or is that an IoT attack?

So Bitcoin has its own network protocol. They contain an operating system and they have confirmation for RAM and other hardware you may want to simulate. It’s about challenging our expectations about the people who hack for a living. Knudsen: That was my dream, I, I use the Defensics to fuzz Bitcoin, a little bit.

Networking. Dinesh Dutt of Cumulus Networks writes about the effect of switch port count in Clos topologies. This blending of “traditional” network engineering with containers, Linux, and DevOps tooling is how Matt is setting new trends and directions for the networking industry. Good stuff here!

Vamosi: So a vulnerable version of Bash provided an attacker the ability to pass untrusted code to other systems and processes. It’s like the operating system left the front door wide open to attackers. One of the more important features of any operating system is its shell. How did this happen?

So the number of companies that really understand the network topology, the data center construction, the server requirements to build this public cloud infrastructure is very, very small.” Microsoft’s ‘Cloud Operating System’ 218,000 Servers in Microsoft Data Centers? Networking.

You know with modern vehicles, they're actually becoming like they're running on bluetooth, they're running the Android operating system. Vamosi: What unites these microcontrollers is not an operating system, rather it's a bus. A bus is a communication system that transfers data between components. What's that?

And so think about what a bad guy could do in your network for half a year plus, right, that's, that's not a good feeling and so we start up the research project to try to say okay well what can we do to defend against the adversary once right. So, so yeah so so those are the kind of high level constructs there.
