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. This article was originally posted on blog.scottlowe.org.

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.

Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Ivan Pepelnjak has a great article that tries to get to the kernel of truth in the middle of the intent-based networking hype. John Kozej walks through how to configure vCenter HA using the NSX load balancer.

As usual, I’ve collected some articles and links from around the Internet pertaining to various data center- and cloud-related topics. Although her article is written specifically for Azure, the underlying concept of being sure to tag resources appropriately is valuable for any cloud provider. Perhaps this article can help.

Via Ivan Pepelnjak, I was pointed to Jon Langemak’s in-depth discussion of working with Linux VRFs. The first is a post on Cilium and F5 load balancer integration , while the second discusses implementing Kubernetes network policies with Cilium and Linkerd. Alessandro Perilli has a very lengthy article on NoOps.

OS X provides an SSH agent by default, but on Linux systems you will probably have to manually run an SSH agent and add the appropriate SSH key: eval `ssh-agent -s` ssh-add ~/.ssh/keyfile.pem. This article was originally posted on blog.scottlowe.org. Linux CLI Docker OSS' ssh/keyfile.pem. Courteous comments are always welcome.
