Tony Sangha took PowerNSX (a set of PowerShell cmdlets for interacting with NSX) and created a tool to help document the NSX Distributed Firewall configuration. Here’s a walkthrough to install Arch Linux on VirtualBox. Alan Renouf shows you how to retrieve NVMe storage device details using PowerCLI. What’s that? Virtualization.

Vivek Gite over at nixCraft explains how to use ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Ubuntu to limit SSH connections. Flatpak is a (relatively) new application packaging/sandboxing mechanism for Linux applications. Who would have thought that one day you’d refer to a Microsoft web site for instructions on configuring something in Linux?

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. NixOS seems to be an interesting re-think of a Linux distribution.

A discussion of “statefulness” brought me again to Ivan’s post on the spectrum of firewall statefulness. Recently among some of Martin’s material I saw reference to yet another term: the immutable server. x that involves booting on a Linux CD. Forgot the root password to your ESXi 5.x

I try to keep the information linked to data center technologies like networking, storage, virtualization, and the like, but occasionally other items slip through. Ranga Maddipudi ( @vCloudNetSec on Twitter) has put together two blog posts on vCloud Networking and Security’s App Firewall ( part 1 and part 2 ). Networking.
