What is a non-blocking switch?
How does Internet work - We know what is networking
It is fairly common to hear about switch being non-blocking. It’s because almost all switches today are non-blocking. But what that means? When I asked people around me on what exactly non-blocking switch means, they were unable to get to the same conclusion. I was going through a lot of different internet places and vendor documents before I wrote this here, but, do not hesitate to add something in comments if you have different view on the subject. Line-rate switch means the same as if you would said wire-speed switch. It basically means that this switch has the forwarding capacity that supports concurrently

Today the Magento Security Team created a new ModSecurity rule and added it to our WAF rules to mitigate an important RCE (remote code execution) vulnerability in the Magento web e-commerce platform. Any customer using the WAF needs to click the ON button next to the “CloudFlare Magento” Group in the WAF Settings to enable protection immediately.
Both Magento version 1.9.1.0 CE and 1.14.1.0 EE are compromised by this vulnerability. CloudFlare WAF protection can help mitigate vulnerabilities like this, but it is vital that Magento users patch Magento immediately. Select and download the patch for SUPEE-5344.

Kubernetes and OpenContrail
I’ve been working over the last couple of weeks in integrating OpenContrail as a networking implementation for Kubernetes and got to the point where i ‘ve a prototype working with a multi-tier application example.
Kubernetes provides 3 basic constructs used in deploying applications:
- Pod
- Replication Controller
- Service
A Pod is a container environment that can execute one or more applications; each Pod executes on a host as one (typically) or more Docker processes sharing the same environment (including networking). A Replication Controller (RC) is a collection of Pods with the same execution characteristics. RCs ensure that the specified number of replicas are executing for a given Pod template.
Services are collections of Pods that are consumable as a service. Through a single IP end point, typically load-balanced to multiple backends.
Kubernetes comes with several application deployment examples. For the purpose of prototyping, I decided to use the K8PetStore example. It creates a 4-tier example: load-generator, frontend, redis-master and redis-slave. Each of these tiers, except for the redis-master) can be deployed as multiple instances.
With OpenContrail, we decided to create a new daemon that listens to the kubernetes API using the kubernetes controller framework. This daemon creates virtual networks on demand, for each Continue reading
