Well, let’s see…stuff on Envoy, network automation, network designs, M1 chips (and potential open source variants!), Are open source M1-style chips a possibility? Virtualization. Welcome to Technology Short Take #145! What will you find in this Tech Short Take? This article seems to think so.

As opposed to just encrypting data at the transport level (although Acra does that between components of its architecture) or just encrypting data at the storage level (using an encrypted file system or similar), Acra targets encrypting data at the table/row/column level within a database. Acra is open source and available via GitHub.

Courtesy of Tigera, Alex Pollitt shares some guidelines on when Linux conntrack is no longer your friend. The CNCF blog has a great article written by an Alibaba software engineer (Xingyu Chen) on some performance optimizations for etcd that have been contributed back to the open source community. Virtualization.

Lots of folks like using Dropbox , the ubiquitous store-and-sync cloud storage service; I am among them. To help address that, I looked around to find an open, interoperable way of adding an extra layer of encryption onto my data. A Mac port of the open source EncFS FUSE filesystem. Background.

It’s been over four months since my last post on open source Puppet , when I posted some updated multi-OS Puppet configurations. The key to making it work is the idea of a virtual resource. The Puppet Labs site does a much better job of explaining virtual resources. Realize the virtual user resources where needed.

In perusing some of Brian’s content, I see lots of stuff at the intersection of networking and virtualization. A complete OS based on the bare bones open source that backs macOS is apparently a real thing called PureDarwin. Samuel Karp has a list of guidelines for designing and testing software daemons.
