Servers/Hardware. Here’s an interesting article on the role that virtualization is playing in the network functions virtualization (NFV) space now that ARM hardware is growing increasingly powerful. I really enjoyed this article by Jon Hall on the Andon cord and ITSM’s DevOps challenge. Virtualization. Here’s a great way.

The rise of Linux in importance in the networking industry continues, with Arista announcing enhancements to Arista EOS to support—among other things—Docker containers. As a partial counterpoint to the increased use/visibility of Linux in the networking industry, check out Ivan’s take on Dell’s OS10 announcement. Servers/Hardware.

His journey started in June 2014 as a result of the Microsoft announcement regarding support for Linux and Kubernetes on Azure—this really indicated a shift in the industry. He highly recommends using OS X on Apple hardware (he bought a used MacBook Pro, including SSD, for less than 300 euros). Show Notes. Cassandra and Neo4j.

Servers/Hardware. Here’s a walkthrough to install Arch Linux on VirtualBox. Thinking of virtualizing Linux on Hyper-V? Then you may find this list of tips for Linux performance on Hyper-V to be useful. I really enjoyed this article by Evgeny Zislis on DevOps transformation using Theory of Constraints. What’s that?

At DevOps Networking Forum 2016, I had the opportunity to share a presentation on some Linux networking options. Here’s another topic that came up at the recent DevOps Networking Forum: Spotify’s SDN Internet Router (SIR). Servers/Hardware. Have fun reading! Networking. Read more about it here.

Cumulus VX, if you aren’t aware, is a community-supported virtual appliance version of Cumulus Linux aimed at helping folks preview and test “full-blown” Cumulus Linux (which, of course, requires compatible hardware). Servers/Hardware. Micro-segmentation is one of those terms (like SDN, cloud, DevOps, etc.)

Also, a quick note that I removed the “Servers/Hardware” and “Storage” sections this time around, as I didn’t have any useful content to share. Ben Piper shares an example of automating Cumulus Linux with Ansible. At first I thought this article on SRE vs. DevOps was link-bait (click-bait?),

Andrey Khomyakov shares some information on automating the setup of whitebox switches running Cumulus Linux in part 2 of this series on learning network automation. Servers/Hardware. Alpine Linux 3.5 This is notable (for me, at least) primarily because a growing number of Docker images are based on Alpine Linux.

Another interesting tidbit regarding hardware: it seems as if we are now seeing the emergence of another round of “hardware offloads.” This next round of hardware offloads seems targeted at network virtualization and related technologies. x86 marches on!

Servers/Hardware. Nick Janetakis discusses some of the differences it’s made for some of his Docker images to switch to using Alpine Linux as the base (instead of the more common Ubuntu or Debian base images). It’s a good post, well worth reading (in my opinion). Nothing this time around. Maybe next time?

Servers/Hardware. William Lam, who always generates some great content, has an article on automating the installation of VMware Tools on Linux with automatic kernel modules. While many folks think “DevOps = Technology,” what they’re overlooking is the cultural, personal, and procedural aspects. Running vSphere 6? Good stuff.

The other set of people who are using it are people who are following the DevOps model and these tend to be more mature organizations.

Matt Oswalt recently wrapped up his 3-part “DevOps for Networking” series. Tom’s key point is that disaggregating software from hardware—which is kind of a given if you’re buying whitebox networking gear—gives you the (potential) flexibility to repurpose network gear based on the software running on it.
