Networking. The first is a post on Cilium and F5 load balancer integration , while the second discusses implementing Kubernetes network policies with Cilium and Linkerd. Second, the content reflects—in my opinion—the changing nature of what it means to be a “networking professional.”

Networking. Eric Sloof mentions the NSX-T load balancing encyclopedia (found here ), which intends to be an authoritative resource to NSX-T load balancing configuration and management. Virtualization. Here’s hoping that I found something useful for you! I’m so far behind. Career/Soft Skills.

Networking. The engineering team at Lyft recently discussed a new overlay-free networking approach they’ve been working on for Kubernetes: IPVLAN-based CNI stack for running within VPCs on AWS. (For VPCs, or Virtual Private Clouds, are Amazon’s software-defined networking mechanism for workloads running on AWS.).

Networking. Romain Decker has an “under the hood” look at the VMware NSX load balancer. I’ll keep an eye open for links to include next time around. This graphical summary of the AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) is pretty handy. Virtualization. Sorry about that! Servers/Hardware.

High speed low latency networks now allow us to add these nodes anywhere in a cloud infrastructure and configure them under existing load balancers. Correlations between pod replicas, simultaneous sessions, network response times, cpu, memory and storage may all be analyzed to forecast required capacity. Conclusions.

Networking. I think this three-part series on new network models for cloud computing ( part 1 , part 2 , and part 3 ), while almost a year old, is quite good. Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post.

Networking. Continuing on that Envoy theme, you may find this article by Matt Klein—one of the primary authors of Envoy—helpful in understanding some of the concepts behind modern load balancing and proxying. Non-code contributions are, in my opinion, an important but oft-overlooked aspect of open source communities.

Eschewing any technical practices, this course takes a high-level view of the history of Linux, the open-source movement, and how this powerful software is used today. Students will explore how containers work, how they compare with virtual machines and Docker containers, and how they handle application isolation.

Networking. Mustafa Akin has an article on Docker’s new overlay networking functionality. Here’s a post that claims to translate OVS and OpenStack Neutron to the network engineer’s language. I would respond to that by saying OpenStack Neutron wasn’t built to manage a physical network. Virtualization.

Networking. Matt Oswalt recently wrapped up his 3-part “DevOps for Networking” series. The NFV discussion seems to be heating up a bit, particularly the “networking” part of NFV. Jason Edelman has posted a self-compiled list of networking projects that are open source ; this is a useful list, so thanks for compiling it Jason!

Networking. If you’re interested in learning more about OpenFlow and software-defined networking but need to do this on a shoestring budget in your home lab, a number of guides have been written to help out. Also see the “Networking” section above for a related post on the networking aspects involved.

The term “Cloud Management” is nebulous, but typically refers to a distinct set of tasks related to managing the infrastructure level (IaaS) cloud layers, typically comprised of the physical and virtual infrastructure, as well as the cloud orchestration layer – whether inside a corporation or a Service Provider cloud. Networking.

In 2003, I founded Blue Box from my college dorm room to be a managed hosting company focused on overcoming the complexities of highly customized open source infrastructure running high traffic web applications. The sharing of ideas and opinions is the cornerstone of the open source philosophy. All feedback is welcome!
