Cisco's campus in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is one of only two places in the United States where candidates can complete a CCIE lab exam (the other being in San Jose, California). People fly in from all over the eastern US and beyond to spend a day taking the exam. Lots of folks who've taken the exam have written up their experiences, but I haven't seen many talk at length about their time in RTP outside of Cisco's building 3.
I've lived just a few minutes away from the testing site for the past few years, and it occurred to me recently that visitors might benefit from some local knowledge.
Most people fly in via Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). RDU is a medium-sized airport with two terminals. Most flights operate out of Terminal 2, except for Southwest Airlines, which is based in the newly-renovated Terminal 1.
As airports go, I'm a big fan of RDU. It's a very modern, clean, and well-organized facility. The interior of Terminal 2 is beautifully designed to resemble an early airplane wing and is flooded with natural light during the day. (It's also one of very few places where you can Continue reading

We wanted to thank everyone in the community for helping us achieve this great milestone of making Docker 1.12 generally available for production environments. Docker 1.12 adds the largest and most sophisticated set of features into a single release since the beginning of the Docker project. Dozens of engineers, both Docker employees and external contributors, have made substantial contributions to every aspect of 1.12 orchestration including core algorithms, integration into the Docker Engine, documentation and testing.
We’re very grateful to the community, which has helped us with feedback, bug reports and new ideas. We couldn’t have done it without the help in particular of the tens of thousands of Docker for Mac and Windows beta users who have been testing our 1.12 features since DockerCon in June. We’ve seen contributions ranging from bash tab completion to UX up-and-down votes that helped us understand what users want most. Compared to what we unveiled at DockerCon, we’ve ended up with significant improvements in the swarm node join workflow (it’s simpler), error reporting (easier to view), UX improvements (more logical), networking (fixed reliability issues) etc.
The core team also wanted to give a Continue reading
