Cloudflare and Rackspace Technology Expand Partnership with Managed Services
Last year, Cloudflare announced the planned expansion of our partner program to help managed and professional service partners efficiently engage with Cloudflare and join us in our mission to help build a better Internet. We’ve been hard at work growing and expanding our partnerships with some amazing global teams that help us support digital transformation and security needs around the world, and today we’d like to highlight one of our Elite global partners, Rackspace Technology.
Today, we are announcing the expansion of our worldwide reseller partnership with Rackspace Technology to include a series of managed services offerings for Cloudflare. As a result, with Cloudflare Security, Performance, and Reliability with Rackspace Managed Services, customers will not only have access to and the scalability of Cloudflare’s global network and integrated cloud platform of security, performance, and reliability solutions but also benefit from a team of certified, enabled Rackspace experts to configure, onboard, and deploy Cloudflare solutions. Because more than 1 billion unique IP addresses pass through Cloudflare's global network every day, Cloudflare, together with its solutions providers, can build real-world intelligence on the communications occurring over the Internet, and how well they perform. We’ve enjoyed enabling their teams to leverage this Continue reading

Why is there a “V” in SIGSEGV Segmentation Fault?
Another long night. I was working on my perfect, bug-free program in C, when the predictable thing happened:
$ clang skynet.c -o skynet
$ ./skynet.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Oh, well... Maybe I'll be more lucky taking over the world another night. But then it struck me. My program received a SIGSEGV signal and crashed with "Segmentation Fault" message. Where does the "V" come from?
Did I read it wrong? Was there a "Segmentation Vault?"? Or did Linux authors make a mistake? Shouldn't the signal be named SIGSEGF?
I asked my colleagues and David Wragg quickly told me that the signal name stands for "Segmentation Violation". I guess that makes sense. Long long time ago, computers used to have memory segmentation. Each memory segment had defined length - called Segment Limit. Accessing data over this limit caused a processor fault. This error code got re-used by newer systems that used paging. I think the Intel manuals call this error "Invalid Page Fault". When it's triggered it gets reported to the userspace as a SIGSEGV signal. End of story.
Or is it?
Martin Levy pointed me to an ancient Version 6th UNIX documentation on "signal". This is Continue reading
Bridging Loops in Disaster Recovery Designs
One of the readers commenting the ideas in my Disaster Recovery and Failure Domains blog post effectively said “In an active/passive DR scenario, having L3 DCI separation doesn’t protect you from STP loop/flood in your active DC, so why do you care?”
He’s absolutely right - if you have a cold disaster recovery site, it doesn’t matter if it’s bombarded by a gazillion flooded packets per second… but how often do you have a cold recovery site?

Worth Reading: Lessons Learned from 20 Years of Hype Cycles
Michael Mullany analyzed 20 years of Gartner hype cycles and got some (expected but still interesting) conclusions including:
- Nobody noticed major technologies even when they were becoming mainstream
- Lots of technologies just die, others make progress when nobody is looking
- We might get the idea right and fail badly at implementation
- It takes a lot longer to solve some problems than anyone expected
Enjoy the reading, and keep these lessons in mind the next time you’ll be sitting in a software-defined, intent-based or machine-learning $vendor presentation.
New hosting Space on AWS
My blog was at https://r2079.wordpress.com and its now moved to https://r2079.com. Why this change?
First and Foremost – Thrill and Challenge
Secondly – Customization and Cost
Don’t get me wrong, I dint migrate because I wanted to get into web development, its not the case and Am not even at intermediate Level there!
Why – This is a custom domain. This is hosted with Route53 Amazon, WordPress is build on AWS custom instance. The Reasons are very simple
- I Wanted to include short flash videos in my old blog, word press apparently dint allow it
- Secondly, I wanted to take frequent backups – was only possible with a huge yearly cost for customization
- Paying for 1 Route53 domain, opened a lot of DNS options, I cancelled my Dynsubscription which was costing 54 Euros per year, while AWS would get most of it witht 12 USD.
- Most Importantly, I don’t have to pay anything just to block Ads!
So, This is where it is, I will try to maintain the website now and see how this goes, Till now Infrastructure was maintained and patched by WordPress , from now probably i have to take care of it.

The Hedge Podcast 40: Greg Ferro and the Path from Automated to Autonomic
The indomitable Greg Ferro joins this episode of the Hedge to talk about the path from automated to autonomic, including why you shouldn’t put everything into “getting automation right,” and why you still need to know the basics even if we reach a completely autonomic world.
Advancing from VMware NSX for vSphere to NSX-T
We introduced VMware NSX to the market over seven years ago. The platform has helped thousands of customers worldwide transform their network and bring the public cloud experience on-premises. This resulted in higher levels of automation and insight, which, in turn, saved time and money. However, as customers continued to drive new use cases and requirements, we wanted to ensure NSX was completely future-ready; hence NSX-T was born.
The Next Generation of NSX is NSX-T
NSX-T is the next generation of network virtualization and security platform with a complete L2-L7 suite of services, delivering switching, routing, firewalling, analytics, and load balancing entirely in software. Unlike NSX-V, NSX-T supports a variety of heterogeneous endpoints such as VMs, containers, and bare metal servers. The platform enables a wide range of use-cases in intrinsic security, networking and security for multi-cloud and modern apps, and network automation. The past few releases delivered many new networking and security innovations on NSX-T, prominent among these are the ultimate crown jewels of the platform – NSX Intelligence, Federation, and NSX Distributed IDS/IPS.
Migrating from NSX for vSphere to NSX-T is top of mind for customers that need to transition. Here are answers to some questions that you, Continue reading
