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?
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.
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!
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.

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.
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!
Although it’s not feature-complete (by a long shot), VMware recently open-sourced version 0.1 via VMware Photon OS TP2. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? A conversation with a very talented engineer at VMware drew me to this post on EVO SDDC workload domains , published by Jason Lochhead. Operating Systems/Applications.
Colin Lynch shares some details on his journey with VMware NSX (so far). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Sjors Robroek describes his nested NSX-T lab that also includes some virtualized network equipment (virtualized Arista switches).

This is the kick-off to a series of posts introducing networking concepts to VMware administrators. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten in speaking to VMware admins, networking is an area in which a lot of VMware-focused folks aren’t particularly comfortable. There’s a reason I’m mentioning all of this.
Vincent Bernat has a really in-depth article on IPv4 route lookup on Linux (and one on IPv6 route lookup as well). Massimo Re Ferre has a great article discussing VMware Cloud on AWS versus Azure Stack and breaking down the differences between the two approaches. Ivan Pepelnjak speaks frankly about VMware Cloud on AWS.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). If you’re into the VMware homelab thing (and I know quite a few folks are), then William’s article on interesting homelab kits for 2023 might be right up your alley. Rob Novak shares his experience in replacing Meraki with TP-Link Omada. Wonder no longer.
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. Steven Bright shows how to deploy Salt minions automatically using VMware Tools. I hope you’re able to find something useful here! Networking.
IPv6 support. Monitoring of LAN, WAN, VPN, and distributed sites. Extensive event logging. Monitoring without agents. Flexible Alerts. Various user interfaces. Failover Cluster: fault tolerance. Maps and dashboards: visualization and control panels. Distributed monitoring. Detailed reports. What to Monitor.
Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. Paul Gifford has an install script to turn up a complete container lab using VMware AppCatalyst, Docker Machine, Vagrant, Ansible, and Packer. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57. I hope you find something useful here! Networking. Larry Smith Jr.
Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain. I won’t steal Matt’s thunder; go have a look at the post yourself to see if you agree with his assessment.
