Recently Published: Azure Networking Demo Videos
Remember my rant about the glacial speed of Azure orchestration system? I decided I won’t allow it to derail yet another event and recorded the demos in advance of the first live session. The final videos are just over an hour long; it probably took me at least three hours to record them.
If you plan to attend the live webinar session on September 12th, you might want to watch at least the first few videos before the live session - I will not waste everyone’s time repeating the demos during the live session.

G7 Leaders: Protect Strong Encryption for a Secure World
Encryption protects us every day. It helps secure web browsing, online banking, and critical public services like electricity, elections, hospitals, transportation, and more.
If the G7 countries are truly committed to building a safer and equal world, then it is crucial to recognize the important role that end-to-end encryption plays in securing the Internet, their economies and their citizens.
The Internet Society and more than 30 organizations have signed an open letter calling on the G7 leaders to do just that – prioritize digital security – and not to require, coerce, or persuade device manufacturers, application, and service providers to:
- modify their products or services or delay patching a bug or security vulnerability to provide exceptional access to encrypted content;
- turn off “encryption-on-by-default”;
- cease offering end-to-end encrypted services; or
- otherwise undermine the security of encrypted services.
Digital security is the foundation of our connected economies and societies. And digital security is underpinned by strong encryption! It ensures that data – whether that of law enforcement, banks, or everyday citizens – can only be accessed by its intended recipient. Any attempt to insert “exceptional” or “lawful” access to encrypted content provides a way for others, including criminals, to gain access. This weakens Continue reading

Measurement Lab: How Do We Know If the Internet Is Open?
An open Internet is the foundation of access and innovation, where users can go where they want, when they want without discrimination. But how do we know if the Internet is truly open? As individuals, our Internet performance experience is mediated by our physical location, infrastructure, government, and Internet service providers. Yet we are largely blind to how our Internet is impacted by these systems. Without that knowledge, innovation stalls, disparity of access grows, and people become isolated from this critical piece of global infrastructure.
Measurement Lab (M-Lab), a fiscally sponsored project of Code for Science & Society, is a consortium of research, industry, and public interest partners focused on fostering, collecting, and publishing open Internet performance data. M-Lab was founded in 2008 to build a global platform designed to enable anyone to measure their Internet service using open source tools. Over ten years later, M-Lab collects over 2 million measurements per day worldwide and has become a trusted source of open data and tools to gather and understand Internet infrastructure from the consumer perspective. Cities and municipal governments; national regulators and government agencies; academics and researchers; ISPs, network operators, and companies; civil society and advocacy organizations; and the Continue reading

Announcing a New Open Source Service Mesh Interoperation Collaboration
Service mesh is fast becoming such a vital part of the infrastructure underlying microservices and traditional applications alike that every industry player must have an offering in the space. Because a variety of differentiated service meshes and service mesh services are emerging, it has become clear that interoperability between them will be critical for customers seeking to interconnect a wide variety of workloads.
With that in mind, we are excited to share that VMware has partnered with Google Cloud, HashiCorp, and Pivotal on an open source project for service mesh interoperability. This initiative will facilitate federation of service discovery between different service meshes of potentially different vendors. Through an API, service meshes can be interconnected to deliver the associated benefits of observability, control, and security across different organizational unit boundaries, and potentially across different products and vendors. The project will soon be opened to the community, and anyone interested in contributing to this effort can do so on GitHub.
Partnering With Industry Leaders on Service Mesh Interoperation
Enterprises increasingly rely on APIs to coordinate business functions that span departmental, organization or vendor boundaries. This implies reliability, operability, security and access constraints on these API calls to ensure business Continue reading
