As a network engineer, I’ve made heavy use of the [crayon-6458f26173405144816985-i/] and [crayon-6458f2617340b267906839-i/] commands to discover the physical topology of a network without having to physically trace cables. While these are very useful commands, their output is not very human-readable. I built neighborparser.com as a quick-and-easy tool to turn the semi-structured data from these commands […]

On today's Day Two Cloud we explore cloud networking certifications. Who do these certs make sense for? Which clouds should you focus on? What do certifications typically cover? Where do third-party devices such as firewalls and load balancers fit into the certification picture? If you're an old-school CLI jockey coming into cloud networking, how should you approach concepts such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?
