Wireguard, if you’re not familiar, is a relatively new solution that is baked into recent Linux kernels. Since the configuration of the clients and the servers is largely the same (especially since both client and server are Linux), I haven’t separated out the two configurations. There is also support for other OSes.)

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. This blog post highlights just one example.

I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. The article supplies lots of useful information, but I really would’ve liked some concrete examples of how to glue these pieces together. Servers/Hardware. Cody De Arkland shows you how.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Second, Brent Salisbury has a write-up on using Docker Machine with AWS that provides a useful real-world example of how it might be used. Networking. Thanks Mike!

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57. I hope you find something useful here! Networking. Larry Smith Jr.

Monitoring QoS (Quality of service, for example, to monitor VoIP). IPv6 support. SSH: For Linux / Unix and MacOS systems. Monitoring of virtual servers. SLA monitoring (service level agreement). Environmental monitoring. Monitoring of LAN, WAN, VPN, and distributed sites. Extensive event logging. Monitoring without agents.

There’s been a fair amount of noise recently about running OpenStack on Kubernetes ( here’s one example ). Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? This Yelp Engineering blog post talks about one of these unintended side effects (processes running as PID 1 are treated differently by the Linux kernel). Ubuntu 16.04

I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. VXLAN overlay networks between AWS and GCE?

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. That prompted Cody Bunch to write this article on setting up a topology with BGP on Linux using the topology converter , which I’m now mentioning in this Technology Short Take. PowerShell on Cumulus Linux on a network switch? Networking. Does your head hurt yet?).

So we have far less users for Mac and Linux than we have on Windows. Vamosi: Most antivirus products are found on Windows, much less so on Mac and Linux. ipv6 is designed to overcome the problems of ipv4 address exhaustion. So it would be very, very hard to scan for all the ipv6 addresses.
