Continuing on that Envoy theme, you may find this article by Matt Klein—one of the primary authors of Envoy—helpful in understanding some of the concepts behind modern load balancing and proxying. Servers/Hardware. Many of these concepts had direct impacts on the design of Envoy. Useful nevertheless, though.

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. I found this series of posts to be helpful when I was working on configuring LACP with Open vSwitch (I hope to have a blog post on that up soon).

If you’d like to play around with Cumulus Linux but don’t have a compatible hardware switch, Cumulus VX is the answer. Servers/Hardware. ACS offers multiple “endpoints,” each of which enables you to use a particular open source container/orchestration tool. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. The recent release of CentOS 7.2

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! I didn’t think that OpenFlow itself was actually open source (even though there are multiple open source implementations of various OpenFlow products).

First up is Brent Salisbury’s how to build an SDN lab without needing OpenFlow hardware. His earlier post on getting started with OpenFlow and Open vSwitch tutorial lab is also quite good. Not unsurprisingly, one of the key advantages of STT that’s highlighted is its improved performance due to TSO support in NIC hardware.
