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. Operating Systems/Applications.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Jason Edelman of Network2Code also has a post on intent-based network automation with Ansible , in which he breaks down the idea of intent-based networking (IBN) and how tools such as Ansible or NAPALM can make it possible.

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. How’s this for Technology Short Take inception—in TST #70 , I mentioned the Cumulus topology converter. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization. Enough of that, though…bring on the content! Networking. This seems like a really nice approach.

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization.

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

And while we are still on the topic of Photon Controller…Kris Thieler has a nice article on how to reduce the resource requirements needed to run Kubernetes on Photon Platform. Operating Systems/Applications. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? Virtualization. on Kubernetes, which does make a fair amount of sense.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Good stuff if you’re interested in getting more details on how OVN is implementing new features like L3. It’s a way to run Kubernetes (the container orchestration system) on top of Mesos (the cluster resource scheduler) as a native Mesos framework.
