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. Phoummala Schmitt talks about the importance of tags with cloud resources.

Networking. Matt Oswalt has a great post on the need for networking professionals to learn basic scripting skills—something he (rightfully) distinguishes from programming as a full-time occupation. Further, he follows that up with a post on how automation is more than just configuration management ; it’s about network services.

Networking. Ray Budavari—who is an absolutely fantastic NSX resource—has a blog post up on the integration between VMware NSX and vRealize Automation. Mustafa Akin has an article on Docker’s new overlay networking functionality. Here’s a post that claims to translate OVS and OpenStack Neutron to the network engineer’s language.

This is my first time publishing a Technology Short Take with my new filesystem-based approach of managing resources. 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. Servers/Hardware. ; my apologies for that.

Whether it is redundant hardware or a private hot-site, keeping an environment up and running 99.99% (insert more 9’s here) of the time is a tough job. With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites.

Microservers share some common characteristics, such as high integrated platforms (like integrated network) and being designed for high efficiency. Disaggregation of resources is a common platform option for microservers. The servers are interconnected using a mesh, ToR, or multi-stage Clos network.

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.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

Many companies have now transitioned to using clouds for access to IT resources such as servers and storage. This pertains to managing the infrastructure elements on which the cloud is running – including the physical infrastructure elements such as servers, networks and storage, as well as the virtualization layer and the cloud stack.

Four days packed with presentations and networking (of the social kind). Think of it this way: Fabric Computing is the componentization and abstraction of infrastructure (such as CPU, Memory, Network and Storage). Virtual networking. This permits physically flatter networks. Tuesday, December 8, 2009.

We believe that making these GPU resources available for everyone to use at low cost will drive new innovation in the application of highly parallel programming models. The early GPU systems were very vendor specific and mostly consisted of graphic operators implemented in hardware being able to operate on data streams in parallel.Â
