Interviewing for the “Ideal Candidate”: Looking for “Nerdvana” – New Packet Pushers Blog
I was going through a stock photo website the other day and came across a “formula” that was supposed to equal the “perfect job candidate”. I chuckled a little out loud. The person sitting next to me looked over at what was on my laptop screen. Paused. Then asked me what I look for when I’m interviewing someone. What is my “perfect job candidate?”
…. For the rest please go to Packet Pushers

Flocker – Docker Data volumes
In this blog, I will cover Flocker from ClusterHQ which is used for Container data/volume management. I will cover some Flocker basics and some hands-on stuff that I tried with Flocker. Docker Volumes: Docker volumes are used to store persistent data that is outside the scope of the Container Union file system. 1 common example … Continue reading Flocker – Docker Data volumes

Speaking Geek at Solarwinds’ Thwack Community
Thwack!
For the new few months in addition to posting here, I’ll be making some blog posts over on Solarwinds‘ Thwack Community in their “Geek Speak” blogs, on the general topic of network management. I won’t be reposting the content here, but I’ll be sharing the links each time I post, and I hope you can find a moment to read them, rate the post if you are that way inclined, and maybe even comment! I know have some very smart readers, and Thwack has some smart users too, so the conversation should be great!
Solarwinds Thwack is a light-hearted community providing specific product support and templates for Solarwinds products, but also offering more general support on networking-related issues through blogs, community forums and product forums. It’s kind of a fun place to dig around, and the users are usually not short of an opinion on most topics. Signing up for an account is easy and free, and then you can post comments and join in the discussion!
Here’s the intro to the first post in the series, called “Do You Monitor Your Network Interfaces? at Geek Speak”
Hope to see you over there!

A Primer on SDxI Form Factors and Delivery Models
We look at how evolving infrastructure form factors and delivery models support the defining hallmarks of SDx: efficiency, flexibility, and customization.
IoT analytics brings new levels of innovation to new product development
Studies show that around 40% of products fail. But what if product designers could understand what features are most and least popular, which components tend to fail sooner than others, and how customers actually use products versus how designers think they use them? And, what if product developers could then utilize these insights to develop products that perform better, potentially cost less and, most importantly, are aligned with actual customer needs?
Innovative product development teams in pretty much every industry are beginning to look at ways to translate enormous streams of real time machine data into actionable information to improve the product development process by understanding where product innovation is necessary, which features are most desirable, and how to lower their overall cost of ownership.

Interested in Mesh Wireless Networks?
Engineers developing open-source wireless mesh network protocols and solutions get together every now and then to test the performance of competing mesh network ideas.
The next conference is organized in August 2015 in Maribor, Slovenia, so if you ever needed a good excuse to drop by Slovenia, now you have one ;)
False Dichotomy
Last week wasn’t a good one for the cause of network engineering. United Airlines grounded flights because of a router failure, the New York Stock Exchange stopped trading for several hours because of a technical problem, and the Wall Street Journal went off line for several hours due to a technical malfunction. How should engineers react to these sorts of large scale public outages? The first option, of course, is to flail our arms and run out of the room screaming. Panic is a lot of fun when you first engage, but over time it tends to get a little boring, so maybe panic isn’t the right solution here.
Another potential reaction is to jump on the “it’s too complex” bandwagon. sure, a lot of these systems are very complex — in fact, they’re probably too complex for the actual work they do. Complexity is required to solve hard problems; elegance is choosing the path with the least amount of complexity that will solve the problem. Far too often, in the engineering world, we choose the more complex path because of some imagined requirement that never actually materializes, or because we imagine a world where the solution we’re putting in Continue reading
Mailing List
I think I’ve finally fixed the mailing list to send an email of the posts here twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) — an attempt at balancing between spamming people and providing information about what’s going on at ‘net Work. Sign up here if you’re interested (the bottom half of the page).
The post Mailing List appeared first on 'net work.
