I’m happy to announce that Cloud Playground is now available on Linux Academy! Seven years ago we launched our first Cloud Servers interface providing the ability for Linux Academy students to spin up virtual machines on demand as part of their membership. Upgraded interface and server logs.

This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Although Linux is often considered to be superior to Windows and macOS with regard to security, it is not without its own security flaws. Networking.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Flatpak is a (relatively) new application packaging/sandboxing mechanism for Linux applications. Who would have thought that one day you’d refer to a Microsoft web site for instructions on configuring something in Linux?

Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Nice to see that work on getting Linux up and running and fully functional on Apple’s proprietary M1 chips is progressing well. There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Networking. Operating Systems/Applications.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Diego Crespo talks about PowerShell on Linux and his experience with it. Rob Novak shares his experience in replacing Meraki with TP-Link Omada. Anton Kuliashov writes about why Palark uses Cilium for Kubernetes networking. This time I’m including two of his articles.

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 wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Aside from a Windows VM I maintain for the occasional thing I can’t do effectively on Linux or OS X, I haven’t worked with Windows in any significant capacity in quite a while. Servers/Hardware. Virtualization.

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. What does this mean? You’re welcome.

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).

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.
