By adding free cloud training to our Community Membership, students have the opportunity to develop their Linux and cloud skills further. Each month, we will kick off our community content with a live study group, allowing members of the Linux Academy community to come together and share their insights in order to learn from one another. Stay tuned to the Linux Academy blog for further details. This course will dive into LXC (LinuX Containers) and its container manager, LXD.

This week, we’re talking all about serverless computing, what it is, why it’s relevant, and the release of a free course that can be enjoyed by everyone on the Linux Academy platform, including Community Edition account members. Configure auto-scaling with load balancers. And for the month of June, this course is one of the multiple free courses on our Community Edition, meaning anyone can take it no matter what type of Linux Academy account they have.

Graf starts by talking about how BPF (specifically, extended BPF or eBPF) can be used to rethink how the Linux kernel handles network traffic. BPF can reject unauthorized connections before the Linux kernel even starts building TCP packets and moving them among various components within the kernel. Shifting focus slightly, Graf moves on to discuss XDP/BPF and the “software load balancer of the future.” Networking Docker DockerCon2017 Cilium Linux

Each cloud computing provider has “opinionated” ways of handling things such as load balancing, elastic scaling, service discovery, data access, and security to name just a few. Docker is the next leap past virtualization, employing self-contained Linux kernels that can be shared across components, sparing the Linux host and making better use of client IT resources — which drives cost effectiveness.

Once the SSH agent is running and the appropriate key is loaded (you’d clearly need to make sure the path and filename are correct in the command listed above), then the last step is to configure your ~/.ssh/config Linux CLI Docker OSS

Workloads are scheduled across these server/linecards using Valiant Load Balancing (VLB). Of course, there are issues with packet-level load balancing and flow-level load balancing, so tradeoffs must be made one way or another. Testing latency and jitter using a Spirent shows that an SRF compares very favorably with an edge router, but not so well against a core router (even though everything on the SRF is software-based running on Linux).
