I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. Servers/Hardware. Pretty painless, to be honest.

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. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

IPv6 support. As devices are discovered, probes will also detect the services and hardware it can monitor. Reducing the costs by buying only the hardware you need. Extensive event logging. Monitoring without agents. Flexible Alerts. Various user interfaces. Failover Cluster: fault tolerance. Distributed monitoring.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Servers/Hardware. Massimo Re Ferre has a great article discussing VMware Cloud on AWS versus Azure Stack and breaking down the differences between the two approaches. Here’s hoping you find something useful!

Servers/Hardware. Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? This one isn’t quite virtualization, but isn’t quite hardware either, so we’ll throw it in here. Nothing this time around. Maybe next time!

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Servers/Hardware. Keep up the great work, Brent!) Thanks Mike!
