2014-2019: In Summary
It's been a while since I last updated my blog. As I'd like to share more in 2020, I thought that a good first post might be to update you all on what I've been working on the last 5 years.
Running a Pelican Blog on Docker Cloud with Let’s Encrypt
It's 2017 and my blog was starting to look a little dated so I decided it was time for a face-lift. While I was at it, I overhauled the way I deploy my blog too.

Multi-Host Docker Networking is now ready for production
At DockerCon in June, we first introduced experimental support for Docker Networking. In Docker 1.9, we are excited to announce that Networking is ready to use in production and works with Swarm and Compose. Networking is a feature of Docker … ContinuedNetworking Receives an Upgrade
After our initial progress report, we are excited to announce a new networking system for Docker Engine. Containers can now communicate with each across hosts and configuring networking has been made much more flexible. What’s more, this functionality is entirely … ContinuedDocker Networking takes a step in the right direction
It’s been just over one month since the SocketPlane team joined Docker and we’ve been working hard to deliver on our promise of helping to grow a healthy ecosystem around Networking. This week, with the help of our partners, we’ve … ContinuedData-Driven RESTful API Testing for Java
This post is a Zombie that I'm resurrecting from my drafts. I"m not doing any Java these days, but hopefully this post might be useful to somebody
In my quest to get better code coverage for the OVSDB project in OpenDaylight I started to look at increasing coverage for the REST API. It's pretty difficult to test this in an efficient way (lines of code) and frameworks like Robot would have been easier to use. The disadvantage with using an external test framework is that code coverage (using a plugin like JaCoCo) would not be logged. Therefore I harnessed my Junit-Jitsu and found a solution that lives in the JVM

Taming Netlink
Netlink is a Linux Kernel interface that is used to talk Networking between Kernel processes, or from userland to Kernel processes. This post documents how I tamed Netlink and make working with it in Golang easier.
If you want to create an interface, set an MTU, set an IP address …

Experimenting with Kernel-powered Open vSwitch and Docker
I've been thinking about running Docker on CoreOS and Project Atomic lately... While the deployment model would be pretty different to what we are used to, I have 50% of the work already done in docker-ovs so I was interested to see if my containers would work on a system with the Open vSwitch kernel module loaded...

Why I gave up Networking for Software
It's now been 3 months since I transitioned from Networking to Software. This is a retrospective piece on my reasons for giving up on Networking.
Is SDN API directionality absurd?
I was finally catching up on a number of posts I'd saved to read later and noticed the prevalent use of "Northbound" and "Southbound". I'm now starting to question whether these terms are necessary or accurate.

Response – Do We Need To Redefine Open?
Tom Hollingsworth wrote a great post on whether or not we need to redefine "Open". My response was too long for a comment, so here it is!

Fun with Fig (and Docker)
I first heard of Fig when I read about Docker acquiring Orchard, a container hosting service, back in July. Last week I finally got to read a little more about it and it just so happens it is the missing piece of the puzzle in a couple of projects that I am working on right now!
