Networking. 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. Now, on to the content!

Networking. Mircea Ulinic shows readers how to use salt-sproxy to take a different approach to network automation using Salt. Michael Kashin has published a couple of posts on a project of his called NaaS (Network-as-a-Service). David Holder walks through removing unused load balancer IP allocations in NSX-T when used with PKS.

Networking. Some folks from Nicira (now part of VMware) recently published a blog post discussing the OVSDB IETF draft (see here ). 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. storage enhancements. It starts here.

The problem is that often the VM management tools aren’t able to scale up to the size of enterprise operations. Kotsovinos points out that a VM is really a collection of interconnected physical subsystems : server, storage, and network. The arrival of VMs has upset this carefully established way of doing things. No related posts.

The need for application management tools is particularly critical when applications go beyond typical single server Web sites into the more complex category of multi-tier enterprise applications. It is implicitly driven by the enterprise shift of moving more and more application workloads to cloud style deployments. Networking.

Four days packed with presentations and networking (of the social kind). Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). Virtual networking. This permits physically flatter networks. Tuesday, December 8, 2009.

In part 1 of this series, I covered some networking basics (OSI and DoD models; layer 2 vs. layer 3; bridging, switching, and routing; Spanning Tree Protocol; and ARP and flooding). For the purposes of this discussion, I’ll assume that the load balancing is being done based on source and destination IP address.
