Feature parity and user interface parity between OVS/OVN on Hyper-V is really close to OVS/OVN on Linux, which should make it easier for Linux sysadmins to use OVS/OVN on Hyper-V as well. OVN Gateway and IPv6 Support. OVN’s IPv6 support is still lacking a few features, although development is still happening in those areas.

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.

There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Jimmy Mankowitz talks in some detail about using NSX-T in vSphere with Tanzu to secure applications. But enough with the introduction—let’s get into the content! Networking.

I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Yes, I know that security and privacy are different, but this seems like a reasonable place to put this article by J Metz on pseudo-anonymous e-mail. Servers/Hardware. Virtualization. Here’s a great way.

Bruce Schneier asks the question that society has yet to answer (and may be afraid to answer): “…do we prioritize security over surveillance, or do we sacrifice security for surveillance?”. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? Servers/Hardware. Nothing this time around. Maybe next time! Ubuntu 16.04 Just sayin’.

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. What does this mean? Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

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.
