Networking. Sjors Robroek describes his nested NSX-T lab that also includes some virtualized network equipment (virtualized Arista switches). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Cody De Arkland shows you how. OK, bring on the links!

Networking. I love this post from Matt Oswalt on five next-gen skills for networking pros. Anthony Burke (disclaimer: Anthony works for VMware in the NSBU) has a post on how to use Python to automate the bulk creation of firewall rules for use with the VMware NSX distributed firewall. Operating Systems/Applications.

Networking. Michael Ryom has a nice (but short) article on using Log Insight along with a NetFlow proxy to help provide more detailed visibility into traffic flows between VMs on NSX logical networks. BGP seems to be emerging as an early front-runner for a standards-based control plane for software networking. Servers/Hardware.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Networking. Anthony discusses features supported by both, how they handle high availability, how VPN services work, and how to handle certificates.

Networking. Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. has a great blog series going called “Hey, I can DevOps my Network too!” Good stuff if you’re interested in getting more details on how OVN is implementing new features like L3.

It is the ultimate incrementally scalable system; simply by adding resources it can handle scaling needs in storage and performance dimensions. It also needs to handle every possible failure of storage devices, of servers, networks and operating systems, all while continuing to serve hundreds of thousands of customers.
