Justin Pietsch wrote another fantastic blog post, this time describing how they simplified Amazon’s internal network, got rid of large-scale VLANs and multi-NIC hosts, moved load balancing functionality into a proxy layer managed by application teams, and finally introduced merchant silicon routers.
Learning is a lifelong process, and it never stops. Of course, no one is born to be brilliant at their job, but we learn and work on our development goals. After all, it takes time and effort to learn new skills and apply new knowledge.
Thanks to the fierce competition, everyone is focused on their professional development to stay ahead. Here is everything you need to know about why is professional development important.
Before we understand why it’s important, you need to understand what professional development is. The term refers to career training and continuing education after an individual starts working to develop new skills for advancement in their career. Many jobs out there require individuals to take continuing education.
However, professional development is not just limited to education. It refers to all the training and learning opportunities you can take to enhance your work and skills. These skills are used to advance in the career.
Here are the many reasons why professional development tools are important for any organization:
As an organization, you can offer professional development opportunities to increase employee retention. It Continue reading

I’ve spent the better part of the last month fighting a transient issue with my home ISP. I thought I had it figure out after a hardware failure at the connection point but it crept back up after I got back from my Philmont trip. I spent a lot of energy upgrading my home equipment firmware and charting the seemingly random timing of the issue. I also called the technical support line and carefully explained what I was seeing and what had been done to work on the problem already.
The responses usually ranged from confused reactions to attempts to reset my cable modem, which never worked. It took several phone calls and lots of repeated explanations before I finally got a different answer from a technician. It turns out there was a known issue with the modem hardware! It’s something they’ve been working on for a few weeks and they’re not entirely sure what the ultimate fix is going to be. So for now I’m going to have to endure the daily resets. But at least I know I’m not going crazy!
Known issues are a way of life in technology. If you’ve worked with any Continue reading

Starting today, your team can use Cloudflare’s Browser Isolation service to protect sensitive data inside the web browser. Administrators can define Zero Trust policies to control who can copy, paste, and print data in any web based application.
In March 2021, for Security Week, we announced the general availability of Cloudflare Browser Isolation as an add-on within the Cloudflare for Teams suite of Zero Trust application access and browsing services. Browser Isolation protects users from browser-borne malware and zero-day threats by shifting the risk of executing untrusted website code from their local browser to a secure browser hosted on our edge.
And currently, we’re democratizing browser isolation for any business by including it with our Teams Enterprise Plan at no additional charge.1
Web browsers, the same tool that connects users to critical business applications, is one of the most common attack vectors and hardest to control.
Browsers started as simple tools intended to share academic documents over the Internet and over time have become sophisticated platforms that replaced virtually every desktop application in the workplace. The dominance of web-based applications in the workplace has created a challenge for security teams who Continue reading
The tools we use at work are starting to look like the apps we use in our personal lives. We send emails for our jobs using Google Workspace and respond to personal notes in Gmail. We download PDFs from our team’s Dropbox and then upload images to our personal account. This can lead to confusion and mistakes—made worse by remote work when we forget to log off for the day.
Today, we’re excited to announce Tenant Control in Cloudflare Gateway, a new feature that helps keep our work at work. Organizations can deploy Cloudflare Gateway to their corporate devices and apply rules ensuring that employees can only log in to the corporate version of the tools they need. Now, teams can prevent users from logging in to the wrong instance of popular applications. What’s more, they can make sure corporate data stays within corporate accounts.
Cloudflare Gateway provides security from threats on the Internet by sending all traffic leaving a device to Cloudflare’s network where it can be filtered. Organizations send traffic to Cloudflare by deploying the WARP agent, a WireGuard-based client built on feedback from our popular consumer app.
Cloudflare Gateway can be Continue reading

Kubernetes operations (kOps) is one of the official Kubernetes (K8s) projects. The kOps project allows for rapid deployment of production-grade K8s clusters in multiple cloud platforms. By leveraging yaml manifests, kOps delivers a familiar experience to users who have worked with kubectl. Similar to K8s clusters in popular cloud platforms, kOps helps set up self-managed clusters to easily deliver high availability. Given its ease of use, it is a very popular choice when users want to deploy self-hosted Kubernetes clusters.
With the recent release of kOps (v1.19), support for the Calico eBPF data plane was added to the utility. In addition to the above-mentioned features, the latest kOps update offers an effortless way to autodeploy K8s clusters utilizing Project Calico for networking and the Calico eBPF data plane. Calico eBPF data plane implementation replaces kube-proxy and delivers equivalent functionality; it also leverages the most optimal datapath for traffic. These changes deliver a network performance boost and source IP preservation to your cluster.
In this blog post, we will showcase the steps required to deploy a cluster that utilizes these newly available features.
eBPF is a virtual machine embedded within the Linux kernel. Continue reading
