Calico Enterprise 3.0 – Global Network Security Center for Kubernetes
As our enterprise customers build out large, multi-cluster Kubernetes environments, they are encountering an entirely new set of security challenges, requiring solutions that operate at scale and can be deployed both on-premises and across multiple clouds.
Today we are thrilled to announce the release of Calico Enterprise 3.0 and the availability of our Global Network Security Center, a game-changing solution that provides a central management plane for network security across every Kubernetes cluster in your organization.
Global Network Security Center for Kubernetes
The Calico Enterprise Global Network Security Center for Kubernetes is a centralized management plane and single point of control for multi-cluster and multi-cloud environments. Calico Enterprise’s centralized control simplifies and speeds routine maintenance, leaving more time for your platform team to address other important tasks.
For example, instead of logging in to 50 clusters one-at-a-time to make a policy change, with a single log-in to Calico Enterprise you can apply policy changes consistently across all 50 clusters. You can also automatically apply existing network security controls to new clusters as they are added.
Calico Enterprise also includes centralized log management, troubleshooting with Flow Visualizer, and cluster-wide IDS (intrusion detection). GNSC provides compliance reporting, and alerts on non-compliance Continue reading

Solve Container Networking Challenges with NSX Container Plugin
By Susan Wu, Senior Product Marketing Manager and Yasen Simeonov, Senior Technical Product Manager, Networking and Security Business Unit
Kubernetes has become mainstream in the enterprise. In the latest Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) survey [1], 78% of the companies surveyed use Kubernetes in production. Containers are not only the norm but are running at scale with 34% of the organizations using 1,000 containers or more.
Given the rise in deployment, challenges remain as organizations attempt to operationalize Kubernetes.
Address Top Challenges in Containers Networking
With the latest release of VMware NSX-T and the NSX Container Plugin (NCP) we continue to address our customers’ top challenges such as security, complexity, and networking.
NSX provides the full stack networking and security across container orchestration platforms including VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, Tanzu, OpenShift and upstream Kubernetes. NSX-T automates network services (distributed switching, routing, firewalling, load balancing/ingress, IPAM), and applies associated firewall policies directly at the pod level as soon as the cluster is spun up using standard Kubernetes commands. This level of simplicity and automation helps manage Kubernetes and the underlying software-defined data center (SDDC) infrastructure providing a common framework for virtualization admins and developers.

A key aspect of intent based networking is user transparency. That is, the network connects the user without any knowledge of why it works During a recent discussion on DHCP I realised that this process is a near perfect expression of intent. A workstation connects to the physical network and makes a configuration request An […]

Internet Society-Chatham House Collaboration: How Is Consolidation Changing the Internet?
For the past couple of years, here, at the Internet Society, we have been thinking about Internet consolidation. After releasing the 2019 Global Internet Report: Consolidation in the Internet Economy, we understood our limitations and the complexity of the issue. To this end, we decided to partner with Chatham House and reach out to the community of researchers and academics, seeking their input to learn more. This resulted in a long process to create a special issue of the Journal of Cyber Policy, including more than 40 proposals for articles, various peer-review cycles and many edits from the authors.
The selection process was tough. We had to weigh in a broad range of ideas and perspectives, which touched virtually all aspects of the Internet economy. And while hard choices had to be made, we are also confident we made the right ones. The level of quality, creativity, and interest that is incorporated in each and every research paper is truly outstanding. For this we are also grateful for the amazing support we have received from our community in spreading the word, for submitting proposals, and to the broad range of experts who have participated in the review of Continue reading
Example: Deploy a Web Server in AWS
The third hands-on exercise in our Networking in Public Cloud Deployments online course asks the students to deploy a web server in a public cloud of their choice using infrastructure-as-code principles.
Not surprisingly, Erik Auerswald created another fantastic writeup when solving that exercise, including exploring the problem space, detailed description of his Terraform-based solution, and testing procedures. Enjoy!
