Scott Lowe

This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Steven Bright shows how to deploy Salt minions automatically using VMware Tools. I hope you’re able to find something useful here! Networking.

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. It sounds pretty handy if you’re a combined VMware-Puppet shop.

Technology Short Take #77

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. This looks really promising, IMHO—I’m excited to see it continue to develop. In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain.

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Keep up the great work, Brent!) Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. Thanks Mike!
