DNS is one of the fundamental building blocks of internet applications and was high on the wish list of our customers for some time already. While registrars manage the namespace in the DNS naming architecture, DNS servers are used to provide the mapping between names and the addresses used to identify an access point. No lock-in.

Visiting future customers is equally exiting as you get a change to understand their current architecture, if it is a migration, and how they plan to exploit cloud services in their new setup. Both with existing and new applications we can sometimes help with explaining some of the best practices we have seen at other customers.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Operating Systems/Applications. A lot of people think tools like Consul are only valuable in “next-generation” microservices-based architectures, but Benny’s article shows how it can add a lot of value in “traditional” architectures.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Operating Systems/Applications. Flatpak is a (relatively) new application packaging/sandboxing mechanism for Linux applications. I won’t steal Matt’s thunder; go have a look at the post yourself to see if you agree with his assessment.

Operating Systems/Applications. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? GitHub recently changed their storage architecture, using a Git-based solution called DGit. If I’m understanding it correctly, it’s just running the OpenStack management components (API servers, message queues, databases, etc.) via VMware Photon OS TP2.
