Incident 1: October, 2006 Sydney Australia – Simply put, someone hit me with a tough question. Totally out of the box and very much to the point, so to the point that it took me years to swallow the impact. The question was an innocent one asked by one of the sharpest software engineers I […]

Today's Day Two Cloud podcast speaks with the creator of the Envoy proxy, Matt Klein, about the challenges of networking, load balancing, and service discovery in microservices architectures. The upshot? Depending on what you're trying to do and why, you may not need a service mesh. You may not need microservices. Sometimes a VM is just right.

VMware's next CEO has two tasks: to construct a narrative about VMware's role and value as a company in a post-hypervisor world, and to integrate its various fiefdoms into a cohesive set of products that can provide greater utility when used together than when used individually.

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) transforms routers, load balancers, firewalls and other network devices into virtual instances that can be service-chained, spun up and down as needed, and are cloud-friendly. But if you're a hardware hugger or have been been burned by virtualization in the past, should you avoid NFV? Today's Heavy Networking guests want to change your mind. The Packet Pushers speak with Michael Pfeiffer, a Cloud Networking Architect for a VAR; and Brad Gregory, Senior Product Manager at Equinix.

Even with minor caveats, I seem to be in a better place with macOS 11.1 Big Sur versus macOS 10.15.7 Catalina. Big Sur is not a flawless experience for me yet, but I have hope it will become so as software makers have time to adjust to all of Apple's changes. And I'll take being able to run GNS3 labs without kernel panics as a big win.

Today's Day Two Cloud episode is part one of a two-part show on abstractions. Hosts Ned Bellavance and Ethan Banks riff on the idea that "Abstractions are there to save you typing, not to save you thinking." The upshot? Abstractions don't eliminate issues, they just move them someplace else. And that has repercussions for design, development, infrastructure, and operations.
