Michael Kashin has a great article on how Open Virtual Network (OVN, part of the Open vSwitch project) implements virtual networks in OpenStack. Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Flatpak is a (relatively) new application packaging/sandboxing mechanism for Linux applications.

In this post, I’ve gathered links to posts about networking, virtualization, Docker, containers, Linux, configuration management, and all kinds of other cool stuff. Jason Anderson has a nice post on using SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) to expose Docker containers. Welcome to Technology Short Take #53. Networking.

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. Virtualization.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Diego Crespo talks about PowerShell on Linux and his experience with it. Virtualization Frank Denneman discusses simulating NUMA nodes for nested ESXi virtual appliances. Rob Novak shares his experience in replacing Meraki with TP-Link Omada. Wonder no longer.

Welcome to Technology Short Take #51, another collection of posts and links about key data center technologies like networking, virtualization, cloud management, and applications/operating systems. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned Open Virtual Network (OVN) here before, as I’m pretty jazzed about the work going on with this project.

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.
