Mirantis published an article discussing a framework they built for bare-metal provisioning with OpenStack that allows OpenStack to place workloads onto bare-metal nodes instead of onto a hypervisor. I don’t have anything for this area this time around, but I’ll stay alert for articles to add next time. Servers/Hardware.

Recep talks about how the predominant architecture for network virtualization involves the use of overlay networks created and managed at the edge by virtual switches in the hypervisors. Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. So how does this work?

I never found the root cause, but we did find a workaround; however, along the way, someone shared this article with me. This is an interesting deep dive into Intel’s “Ice Lake” Xeon SP architecture. A bunch of home Wi-Fi routers are suspectible to attack; see this article for more details. Servers/Hardware.

Christopher Davis has an article discussing a recommended VPC subnet configuration. This is, of course, just one way of handling subnets within a VPC, but some of the principles outlined in Christopher’s article are definitely sound. This article is pretty high-level; I wish it had a bit more depth to it. Networking.

Using 1 GbE would have required too many ports, too many cables, and too many switches; 10 GbE offered Expedient a 23% reduction in cables and ports, a 14% reduction in infrastructure costs, and offered a significant bandwidth improvement (compared to the previous 1 GbE architecture).

Here’s a quick look at using Envoy as a load balancer in Kubernetes. Having recently needed to dig into Open Policy Agent (OPA) , I took renewed interest in this slightly older article by Chip Zoller that compares OPA/Gatekeeper with Kyverno. I hope this collection of links has something useful for you! Networking.

Whatever DNS name you supply for controlPlaneEndpoint —and it should be a DNS name and not an IP address, since in an HA configuration this value should point to a load balancer, and IP addresses assigned to AWS ELBs can change–will also be added as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) to the API server’s certificate.

N-Tier architectures and micro-services applications must be tuned for performance. High speed low latency networks now allow us to add these nodes anywhere in a cloud infrastructure and configure them under existing load balancers. So the question is now not whether to deploy, but when, where, why and how?

With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites. So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. . Featured Cloud Articles.
