There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Networking. Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Russ White shares Russ' rules for network design. Jimmy Mankowitz talks in some detail about using NSX-T in vSphere with Tanzu to secure applications.

The operator played a critical function in establishing a global telephone network where any phone could talk to any phone. Every device you have, indeed, every device on the Internet, uses DNS to determine how to route information to other devices. Makes browsing faster and more secure. Now how might you implement DNS at home?

Networking. This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Want to understand kube-proxy , a key part of Kubernetes networking, a bit better? I hope you’re able to find something useful here!

Networking. Isovalent, the folks behind Cilium, recently unveiled the Network Policy Editor, a graphical way of editing Kubernetes Network Policies. Ivan Pepelnjak, the font of all networking knowledge, has been discussing cloud networking in some detail for a good while now. Want/need to better understand IPv6?

Networking. Michael Kashin has a great article on how Open Virtual Network (OVN, part of the Open vSwitch project) implements virtual networks in OpenStack. Yes, the article is slightly OpenStack-centric, but it still remains a very informative look at the different components of OVN and how OVN works. Good advice.

For small or uncomplicated networks, BIND by itself is well suited to provide all DNS-related service functions. Typically, the people who manage BIND DNS servers day to day are network administrators or system administrators who are comfortable in Linux/UNIX. Who Uses BIND? Why is BIND Valuable to Understand?

Coupled with the advent of the Internet and the development of new technologies such as IPv6, VOIP, IoT, and 5G, companies are suddenly awash in more data than ever before. That’s because companies didn’t have sufficient computing power, storage capabilities, or enough data to make an investment in developing ML and AI models worthwhile.
