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.

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. Welcome to Technology Short Take #84!

Networking. I love this post from Matt Oswalt on five next-gen skills for networking pros. Not everyone agrees, though—here’s Steven Noble’s take on the introduction of 6-pack and why this is pushing the networking industry forward. It’s a pretty detailed article with lots of useful information. Bring on the content!

This is the kick-off to a series of posts introducing networking concepts to VMware administrators. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten in speaking to VMware admins, networking is an area in which a lot of VMware-focused folks aren’t particularly comfortable.

Networking Kevin Jin’s post on the APNIC blog about network automation tools is a great read. He discusses Netmiko, NAPALM, and Nornir in some detail, and provides some guidance around which network automation tool may be right for you. Anton Kuliashov writes about why Palark uses Cilium for Kubernetes networking.

With the SBS 2008 and SBS 2011 the Connect to the Internet Wizard would analyze your network and determine a static IP address to use, and then ensure you like it before making it the server’s IP address. SBS 2011 Essentials doesn’t assign itself a static IP address, and it doesn’t have a Connect to the Internet Wizard.
