Don't be overwhelmed by DevOps. Picking individual steps in the process makes it achievable for small businesses.
In this Network Collective podcast, hear Martin Casado talk about his work in pioneering software-defined networking.
This is the feedback I got from someone who used ExpertExpress to discuss the evolution of their data center:
The session has greatly simplified what had appeared to be a complex and difficult undertaking for us. Great to get fresh ideas on how we could best approach our requirements and with the existing equipment we have. Very much looking forward to putting into practice what we discussed.
And here’s what Nicola Modena (the expert working with the customer) replied:
As I told you, the problem is usually to map the architectures and solutions that are found in books, whitepapers, and validated designs into customer’s own reality, then to divide the architecture into independent functional layers, and most importantly to always start from requirements and not technology.
A really good summary of what ipSpace.net is all about ;) Thank you, Nicola!
Many open-source network simulation and emulation tools use full virtualization technologies like VMware, QEMU/KVM, or VirtualBox. These technologies require hardware support for virtualization such as Intel’s VT-x and AMD’s AMD-V. To gain direct access to this hardware support, researchers usually run network emulation test beds on their own PCs or servers but could not take advantage of the inexpensive and flexible computing services offered by cloud providers like Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine, or Microsoft Azure.
By August 2017, most of the major cloud service providers announced support for nested virtualization. In the cloud context, Nested Virtualization is an advanced feature aimed at enterprises, but it is also very useful for building network emulation test beds. I’ve written about nested virtualization for servers before but, until recently, I was limited to running nested virtual machines on my own PC. Now that the major cloud providers support nested virtualization, I can build more complex network emulation scenarios using cloud servers.
This post will discuss the cloud service providers that support nested virtualization and how this feature supports open source networking simulation and emulation in the cloud.
The cloud service providers Continue reading
On June 4, 2018, Microsoft announced it will acquire GitHub for $7.5 billion. What does this acquisition mean for developers, the projects that use GitHub, and the online community surrounding it? Listen is as Network Collective discusses with this acquisition means for Microsoft, GitHub, and the many projects and developers that rely on GitHub.

Nyansa’s software platform Voyance collects data from across the network, correlates it, determines patterns and anomalies, and suggests remediation. Its most recent update fixes two known blind spots in the monitoring tool.
VictorOps’ platform for incident management will be integrated with the Splunk machine data platform to enable monitoring, event management, and "ChatOps" for DevOps teams.
Google’s Diane Greene joined Robbins on stage at Cisco Live to talk about the Cisco-Google hybrid cloud that is currently available to a handful of cloud customers for refinement.
The support comes from an ingress controller that can automatically provision application delivery configuration and policies for a container.
The new hosted service builds and manages virtual private cloud networks in all three major public clouds: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
The Open Compute Project replaces Incubation Committee leadership; Cisco's head of sales for the Americas departs; and HPE replaces its chief marketing officer.
DT created its application based on the SAP Cloud Platform Blockchain, SAP’s blockchain as a service offering.
SD-WAN is at the heart of digital transformation —particularly when it comes to branch operations. The white paper from Cradlepoint discusses the importance of the wireless software-defined branch.
This week is TNC18, the largest European research and education networking conference, which is being held at the Lerkendal Stadium in Trondheim, Norway – the home of current Norwegian Football Champions Rosenborg BK. Of course we’re actually in a conference centre underneath one of the grandstands and not on the pitch, but this is still a premier event that brings together managers, network engineers, and researchers from R&E networks in Europe and the rest of the world.
The Internet Society is not only one of the conference sponsors, but has a significant role in the programme as well. Our colleague Karen O’Donoghue on Monday spoke about NRENs and IoT Security in the ‘What’s Coming Next In Privacy Innovation‘ session, where she’s discussing the security and privacy challenges of burgeoning numbers of IoT devices and how these will impact R&E communities. ISOC is encouraging the development of best practices through the Online Trust Alliance’s IoT Security & Privacy Trust Framework, and this is a good opportunity to discuss how the NREN community can take the lead in adopting good operational practice.
Karen will also be talking about Time and Security during the ‘Security‘ session on Tuesday. Continue reading
