I have a fairly diverse set of links for readers this time around, covering topics from microchips to improving your writing, with stops along the way in topics like Kubernetes, virtualization, Linux, and the popular JSON-parsing tool jq along the way. Networking. Servers/Hardware. I hope you find something useful! So useful.).

Networking. Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Ivan Pepelnjak has a great article that tries to get to the kernel of truth in the middle of the intent-based networking hype. The company is VirTool Networks (catchy, eh?), Servers/Hardware.

Networking. 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. Servers/Hardware. Now, on to the content! Unfortunately, this appears to be GKE-specific.

Networking. Servers/Hardware. Scott McCarty explains sVirt and how it’s used to isolate Linux containers. Check out these articles talking about IPVS-based in-cluster load balancing , CoreDNS , dynamic kubelet configuration , and resizing persistent volumes in Kubernetes. on various technology areas.

Networking. 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. Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post.

Networking. Mustafa Akin has an article on Docker’s new overlay networking functionality. If you’d like to play around with Cumulus Linux but don’t have a compatible hardware switch, Cumulus VX is the answer. Here’s a post that claims to translate OVS and OpenStack Neutron to the network engineer’s language.

This is session COMS002, titled “The Future of Software-Defined Networking with the Intel Open Network Platform Switch Reference Design.” The Intel Open Network Platform (ONP) Switch is the official name for Seacliff Trail, which I talked about last year at IDF 2012. So how does this work?

Networking. If you’re interested in learning more about OpenFlow and software-defined networking but need to do this on a shoestring budget in your home lab, a number of guides have been written to help out. First up is Brent Salisbury’s how to build an SDN lab without needing OpenFlow hardware. Servers/Hardware.

Microservers share some common characteristics, such as high integrated platforms (like integrated network) and being designed for high efficiency. He starts the discussion by talking about NFV and SDN, and how these efforts enable agile networks on standard high volume (SHV) servers (such as microservers).

Networking. Matt Oswalt recently wrapped up his 3-part “DevOps for Networking” series. The NFV discussion seems to be heating up a bit, particularly the “networking” part of NFV. Jason Edelman has posted a self-compiled list of networking projects that are open source ; this is a useful list, so thanks for compiling it Jason!
