Intel NUC or SuperMicro E200-8D? Here’s a Windows-centric walkthrough to using Nginx to load balance across a Docker Swarm cluster. Brian Ragazzi shares a lesson learned the hard way regarding VVols: place the VSM/VASA on a non-VVol storage location. Yves Fauser discusses NSX integration with Kubernetes in this blog post.

Continuing on that Envoy theme, you may find this article by Matt Klein—one of the primary authors of Envoy—helpful in understanding some of the concepts behind modern load balancing and proxying. Many of these concepts had direct impacts on the design of Envoy. Servers/Hardware. Useful nevertheless, though. Virtualization.
