Here’s another collection of links and articles from around the Internet discussing various data center-focused technologies. The Pivotal Engineering blog has an article that shows how to use BOSH with the vSphere CPI to automate adding servers to an NSX load balancing pool. Welcome to Technology Short Take #78! Networking.

I have (hopefully) crafted an interesting and varied collection of links for you today, spanning all the major areas of modern data center technology. Kamal Kyrala discusses a method for accessing Kubernetes Services without Ingress, NodePort, or load balancers. Welcome to Technology Short Take #101! Networking. Handy tool!

Citrix is the king of VDI and has looked to diversify into server virtualization, cloud computing and other data center technologies such as load balancers. It’s ironic until recently one of my main personal use cases for VDI was VMware’s own vSphere Client on my Macbook.

Envoy is a useful project with which to be familiar; it serves as the data plane for the Istio service mesh , and it is the data plane for Heptio’s Contour ingress controller (and, by extension, Heptio’s Gimbal multi-cluster routing solution ). Networking. Julia Evans provides some Envoy basics. Servers/Hardware.

Baptiste Collard has a post on Kubernetes controllers for AWS load balancers. One takeaway from this post for me was that the new AWS load balancer controller uses a ton of annotations. Michael Heap shares how to deploy a Kong Gateway data plane with Pulumi. Here’s a handy Bash tip from Nick Janetakis.

In the old days, IT departments had developed the tools and processes that they needed in order to deal with building large groups of new servers or handling a planned data center maintenance activity. The arrival of virtualization in the data center is going to screw all of this up. Permalink | 2 comments | Add to del.icio.us.

It starts by building upon the core of virtualized infrastructure, made possibe by VMware’s compute, storage, and network virtualization solutions. Combined with a strong management layer and hybrid cloud solutions, this becomes the software-defined data center (SDDC). What about iOS and Android devices?

The “gotcha” is that these software stacks haven’t been written yet, so the idea of repurposing hardware from switch to firewall to load balancer is still a bit of a unicorn.

Recall that in part 1 I defined a broadcast domain as all the devices and hosts that are connected by bridges or switches (which operate at layer 2, the Data Link layer, of the OSI model). For the purposes of this discussion, I’ll assume that the load balancing is being done based on source and destination IP address.
