Interop Liveblog: IPv6 Microsegmentation

Scott Lowe

This session was titled “IPv6 Microsegmentation,” and the speaker was Ivan Pepelnjak. The session starts with a discussion of the problems found in Layer 2 IPv6 networks. Note that some of these attacks are also common to IPv4 and are not necessarily unique to IPv6. Can we use shared Layer 3 IPv6 subnets?

Technology Short Take 146

Scott Lowe

Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Eric Sloof has a link to a white paper from VMware on host power management in vSphere 7.0. There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. But enough with the introduction—let’s get into the content! Networking. Virtualization.

Technology Short Take #51

Scott Lowe

I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. Pretty painless, to be honest. Thanks Cody!

Technology Short Take #72

Scott Lowe

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. Clifford Haas has a review of VMware NSX (this is from back in January). VMware recently published a case study describing how Rackspace used VMware NSX to quickly meet new PCI DSS compliance goals. Enough of that, though…bring on the content! Networking.

Technology Short Take #49

Scott Lowe

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. It sounds pretty handy if you’re a combined VMware-Puppet shop.

Technology Short Take #53

Scott Lowe

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Keep up the great work, Brent!) Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. Thanks Mike!
