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? Virtualization. Start here. Version 3.8.0

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. OK, bring on the links!

Networking. Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Ivan Pepelnjak has a great article that tries to get to the kernel of truth in the middle of the intent-based networking hype. The company is VirTool Networks (catchy, eh?),

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.

Seven years ago we launched our first Cloud Servers interface providing the ability for Linux Academy students to spin up virtual machines on demand as part of their membership. At any given time, our Cloud Servers platform managed 20,000+ virtual machines. Major Upgrades Brought by Cloud Playground. Upgraded interface and server logs.

This is a liveblog of the OpenStack Summit Sydney session titled “IPv6 Primer for Deployments”, led by Trent Lloyd from Canonical. IPv6 is a topic with which I know I need to get more familiar, so attending this session seemed like a reasonable approach. And a /64 prefix is considered a single local network.

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. Virtualization.

Our government customers sometimes have an additional layer of regulatory requirements given that they at times deal with highly sensitive information, such as defense-related data. More information. To make use of the services in this region, customers will use the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to organize their AWS resources.

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. Layer 2 Versus Layer 3: The OSI and DoD Models.

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.
