I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. Pretty painless, to be honest. Get all the details here.

Colin Lynch shares some details on his journey with VMware NSX (so far). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Servers/Hardware. Check out James Thorne’s recent post on beginner resources for Docker and Kubernetes. RegEx tester.

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. It sounds pretty handy if you’re a combined VMware-Puppet shop.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain. I won’t steal Matt’s thunder; go have a look at the post yourself to see if you agree with his assessment.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Storage This is a good (albeit slightly dated) overview of EBS volume types. If you’re into the VMware homelab thing (and I know quite a few folks are), then William’s article on interesting homelab kits for 2023 might be right up your alley.

Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? GitHub recently changed their storage architecture, using a Git-based solution called DGit. Operating Systems/Applications. of vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC).

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Keep up the great work, Brent!) Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. Thanks Mike!

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. There’s a reason I’m mentioning all of this.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Paul Gifford has an install script to turn up a complete container lab using VMware AppCatalyst, Docker Machine, Vagrant, Ansible, and Packer. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57. I hope you find something useful here! Networking. Larry Smith Jr.
