Networking Lee Briggs (formerly of Pulumi, now with Tailscale) shows how to use the Tailscale Operator to create “free” Kubernetes load balancers (“free” as in no additional charge above and beyond what it would normally cost to operate a Kubernetes cluster). Thanks for reading! This is a handy trick.

Essentially the punchline is this: Weve taken the most commonly-purchased hardware configuration and management tools used by mission-critical IT Ops, and integrated them into a single product with a single GUI that you can install and use in ~ 1 day. If you dont believe Dell hardware is ready for the Data Center, then think again.

A specific angle I want to address here is that of infrastructure automation ; that is, the dynamic manipulation of physical resources (virtualized or not) such as I/O, networking, load balancing, and storage connections - Sometimes referred to as "Infrastructure 2.0". a Fabric), and network switches, load balancers, etc.

Existing physical IO but with address hardware-based mapping/virtualization (e.g. Workloads, NICs, HBAs, networking addressing and storage connections (complete with fabric-based load balancing) can all be cloned… starting with the IO and networking profiles, made possible through IOV.

The next step is to define in software the converged network, its switching, and even network devices such as load balancers. Provisioning of the network, VLANs, IP load balancing, etc. Cloud Computing Journal. This permits physically flatter networks. can all be simplified and accomplished via software as well.

Capital cost – if you count all of the separate hardware components they’re trying to manage. That last bullet, the thing about hardware components, is also something to drill down into. And I mean I/O components like NICs and HBAs, not to mention switches, load balancers and cables. Cloud Computing Journal.

True, both have made huge strides in the hardware world to allow for blade repurposing, I/O, address, and storage naming portability, etc. However, in the software domain, each still relies on multiple individual products to accomplish tasks such as SW provisioning, HA/availability, VM management, load balancing, etc.
