Here’s a handy list of deprecated Linux network commands and their replacements. Servers/Hardware. Konstantin Ryabitsev has a series going on securing a SysAdmin Linux workstation. Part 1 covers how to choose a Linux distribution, and part 2 discusses some security tips for installing Linux on your SysAdmin workstation.

I asked the question earlier how does NSX bring value to the enterprise. You can save money if you consolidate your Windows & Linux workloads to fewer servers. The network industry has focused on protocols for a long time because of the need interoperate hardware devices between vendors.

Chip Zoller has a write-up on doing HTTPS ingress with Enterprise PKS. The “TL;DR” for those who are interested is that this solution bypasses the normal iptables layer involved in most Kubernetes implementations to load balance traffic directly to Pods in the cluster. Servers/Hardware. Now, on to the content!

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Servers/Hardware. The folks over at Cloudify recently did a survey on the state of “enterprise multi-cloud”; the report is available here (doesn’t appear to be behind a paywall/regwall).

Servers/Hardware. Only a true geek would be interested in this, but here’s some information on running OpenBSD in KVM on Linux. Given my past interest in OpenBSD and my present interest in KVM on Linux, this might be something I’ll be trying myself soon. That’s pretty handy. Technology Short Take #25.

Recep will cover the hardware side of ONP; Gershon will cover the software side of ONP (referred to as ONS). ONP fits into this picture by performing VTEP functions in hardware (at line rate). Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services.

First up is Brent Salisbury’s how to build an SDN lab without needing OpenFlow hardware. Not unsurprisingly, one of the key advantages of STT that’s highlighted is its improved performance due to TSO support in NIC hardware. Servers/Hardware. I needed to fill in some other knowledge gaps first.) Until the 1.3
