Day Two Cloud 052: Moving Back Home From The Cloud
Today's Day Two Cloud episode is a frank conversation about cloud migration, multicloud, cloud repatriation, and more. If you're here for rainbows and unicorns, prepare for disappointment. We talk about what's real, how expensive it can be to move to cloud, why people bring workloads back on premises, and more. Our guest is Bobby Allen, CTO at CloudGenera.

The increased rate of change in networking isn’t just impacting the operational models used to run networks. Network security posture, infrastructure, and operations are having to adapt quickly as well. In this episode we sit down with Henry Jiang, CISO of Diligent Corporation, to talk about how security is adapting to current infrastructure trends.

High Availability Load Balancers with Maglev
Background
We run many backend services that power our customer dashboard, APIs, and features available at our edge. We own and operate physical infrastructure for our backend services. We need an effective way to route arbitrary TCP and UDP traffic between services and also from outside these data centers.
Previously, all traffic for these backend services would pass through several layers of stateful TCP proxies and NATs before reaching an available instance. This solution worked for several years, but as we grew it caused our service and operations teams many issues. Our service teams needed to deal with drops of availability, and our operations teams had much toil when needing to do maintenance on load balancer servers.
Goals
With the experience with our stateful TCP proxy and NAT solutions in mind, we had several goals for a replacement load balancing service, while remaining on our own infrastructure:
- Preserve source IPs through routing decisions to destination servers. This allows us to support servers that require client IP addresses as part of their operation, without workarounds such as X-Forwarded-For headers or the PROXY TCP extension.
- Support an architecture where backends are located across many racks and subnets. This prevents solutions that cannot Continue reading
How Should Network Architects Deal with Network Automation
A network architect friend of mine sent me a series of questions trying to figure out how he should approach network automation, and how deep he should go.
There is so much focus right now on network automation, but it’s difficult for me to know how to apply it, and how it all makes sense from an Architect’s PoV.
A network architect should be the bridge between the customer requirements and the underlying technologies, which (in my opinion) means he has to have a good grasp of both as opposed to fluffy opinions glanced from vendor white papers, or brushed off so-called thought leaders.
MANRS Fellowship Program Now Open
The first-ever MANRS (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security) Fellowship Program is now accepting applications. If you are an emerging leader eager to improve the well-being of the Internet’s global routing system, apply now.
The program gives highly motivated individuals the chance to work alongside MANRS ambassadors, who are industry leaders participating in the Ambassador Program. Together, they will train diverse communities on good routing practices, analyze routing incidents, research into ways to secure routing, and survey the global policy landscape.
Fellows will improve their skills and bring new perspectives and ideas to MANRS. They will also gain valuable insights and networking opportunities from well-respected professionals called MANRS Ambassadors under the MANRS Ambassadors Program. The selection process for this program is currently underway.
The Internet Society supports this program as part of its work to reduce common routing threats and establish norms for network operations.
You can apply for a fellowship in three different areas: training, research, and policy. Each fellow will receive a stipend of $750 a month. There is no age requirement and you can apply for more than one category but will only be selected for one of them.

When people connect to the Internet, they can change the world for the better. And so many people have done just that, using this transformative technology to make strides in education, economic opportunity, and health outcomes. But Internet access is only part of the equation. There’s now a different kind of divide: the gap between those who have the knowledge and skills to use the Internet to empower themselves and their communities – and those who don’t.
To address this gap, the Internet Society Foundation is launching SCILLS: Strengthening Communities, Improving Lives and Livelihoods. The program aims to expand economic growth, improve health outcomes, and increase educational opportunities – by supporting communities to more knowledgeably and skillfully use the Internet.
Are you working to close this gap? The Internet Society Foundation wants to hear from you!
In its pilot year, the program is open to eligible organizations in Bangladesh, Colombia, and Senegal, with expansion to additional countries planned in coming years. It provides grants of up to $150,000 USD for projects lasting up to 24 months. Applications are open between 9 June and 3 July, and grantees will be announced in early September.
The Internet is for everyone – a critical lifeline that can Continue reading
