Michael Kashin has a great article on how Open Virtual Network (OVN, part of the Open vSwitch project) implements virtual networks in OpenStack. Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization. Good advice.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). and their product (VirTool Network Analyzer) is aimed at providing some operational visibility into OpenStack virtual networks. Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization.

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. Servers/Hardware. I came across this article that shows Red Hat is allowing Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) to use/leverage OpenStack Neutron networks, thus allowing OpenStack and non-OpenStack workloads to easily communicate with one another. Virtualization.

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. Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Servers/Hardware Kevin Houston provides some instructions on backing up the Dell PowerEdge MX7000 settings and configurations. Virtualization Frank Denneman discusses simulating NUMA nodes for nested ESXi virtual appliances. Both are great reads.

Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? Virtualization. This one isn’t quite virtualization, but isn’t quite hardware either, so we’ll throw it in here. Frank Denneman has a nice post on using an OS X system to manage your vSphere environment.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Servers/Hardware. Operating Systems/Applications. Jason Anderson has a nice post on using SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) to expose Docker containers.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Servers/Hardware. It’s a way to run Kubernetes (the container orchestration system) on top of Mesos (the cluster resource scheduler) as a native Mesos framework. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization. Networking.
