I have a fairly diverse set of links for readers this time around, covering topics from microchips to improving your writing, with stops along the way in topics like Kubernetes, virtualization, Linux, and the popular JSON-parsing tool jq along the way. Operating Systems/Applications. Virtualization. Networking.

Here’s a pair of articles ( one here and one here ) that describe the port connections required between the various components in a VMware NSX deployment. These posts are a bit slanted toware VMware vSphere environments, but very detailed, very thorough, and very useful. William Lam has a quick look at ContainerX on VMware vSphere.

This article by Russell Bryant is a great overview and update of the work going on with Open Virtual Network (OVN). This is kind of cool, and (in my humble opinion) a sign of changing times: Juniper has Vagrant boxes as well as a Vagrant plugin for working with vSRX (virtual firewall) VMs (via this article from Matt Oswalt).

Incompatibility and unreliability caused by configuration differences such as versions of compilers, loaders, runtime libraries, middleware, and operating systems in new environments contributed to increased project effort, cost, and timelines. They don’t need to utilize the same resource as virtual machines do. How we got here.

Organizations that postpone modernization complain about being stuck in maintenance mode with disparate, multi-vendor backup and recovery systems that are complex and expensive to maintain. In fact, the HPE solution delivers superior storage efficiency as compared to alternate VMware backup solutions. Cost optimization.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Roie Ben Haim, who works in professional services at VMware, has a deep dive on the NSX distributed firewall (DFW). Operating Systems/Applications.

This time around, the content is a bit heavier on cloud management and applications/operating systems, but still lots of good content all the way around (I hope, anyway). A quick perusal of the ONF web site does not indicate that the OpenFlow materials are available anywhere under any open source license. Virtualization.
