Networking Lee Briggs (formerly of Pulumi, now with Tailscale) shows how to use the Tailscale Operator to create “free” Kubernetes loadbalancers (“free” as in no additional charge above and beyond what it would normally cost to operate a Kubernetes cluster). Thanks for reading! Read more about it in this post.
The latter can be open-source software such as OpenStack, CloudStack or commercial products such as Citrix CloudPlatform or VMware Cloud Director (VCD). The user level elements that are managed within such an IaaS cloud are virtual servers, cloud storage and shared resources such as loadbalancers and firewalls.
Bruce Davie and Martin Casado (with Nicira, now part of VMware) have written a post comparing the VXLAN and STT tunneling protocols. This VMware blog post helps explain the link between Puppet and vFabric Application Director, and why organizations may want to use both. Ben Armstrong shows how here. Technology Short Take #25.
Some folks from Nicira (now part of VMware) recently published a blog post discussing the OVSDB IETF draft (see here ). If storage is your thing—especially in VMware environments—I’d recommend having a look at Cormac Hogan’s blog for his series on vSphere 5.1 Networking. storage enhancements. It starts here.
Romain Decker has an “under the hood” look at the VMware NSX loadbalancer. I’ll keep an eye open for links to include next time around. This graphical summary of the AWS Application LoadBalancer (ALB) is pretty handy. Richard Arnold shares some thoughts on VMware Cloud on AWS.
Jason Edelman has posted a self-compiled list of networking projects that are opensource ; this is a useful list, so thanks for compiling it Jason! I didn’t think that OpenFlow itself was actually opensource (even though there are multiple opensource implementations of various OpenFlow products).
Eric Sloof mentions the NSX-T loadbalancing encyclopedia (found here ), which intends to be an authoritative resource to NSX-T loadbalancing configuration and management. Guiliano Bertello introduces PowerVCF , a PowerCLI module aimed at interacting with the SDDC Manager and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) stack. (If
VMware recently released a reference design guide for NSX-T; see here for more details. Viktor van den Berg writes on deploying NSX loadbalancers with vRA. Dimitri de Swart has a write-up on LAMP stacks made easy with VMware and Puppet. I hope it proves useful! Networking. Larry Smith Jr. Nothing this time around, sorry!
The first is a post on Cilium and F5 loadbalancer integration , while the second discusses implementing Kubernetes network policies with Cilium and Linkerd. Patrick Kremer walks through using Postman to implement BGP route filtering with VMware Cloud on AWS. One, the content is useful in and of itself. Here you go.
Xavier Avrillier walks readers through using Antrea (a Kubernetes CNI built on top of Open vSwitch—a topic I’ve touched on a time or two) to provide on-premise loadbalancing in Kubernetes. Steven Bright shows how to deploy Salt minions automatically using VMware Tools. Servers/Hardware. Career/Soft Skills.
Looking for a step-by-step install guide for VMware NSX? Ray Budavari—who is an absolutely fantastic NSX resource—has a blog post up on the integration between VMware NSX and vRealize Automation. ACS offers multiple “endpoints,” each of which enables you to use a particular opensource container/orchestration tool.
Continuing on that Envoy theme, you may find this article by Matt Klein—one of the primary authors of Envoy—helpful in understanding some of the concepts behind modern loadbalancing and proxying. Non-code contributions are, in my opinion, an important but oft-overlooked aspect of opensource communities.
