How HAProxy Streamlines Kubernetes Ingress Control

In 2016, when the digital media arm of the in increasingly large numbers. “I remember the fear that the huge event we were experiencing could bring our platform down,” said recalled at HAProxy 2019. They kept watching the Grafana dashboard, searching for potential anomalies. In the end, however, nothing bad happened. “We ended up drinking beers and eating pizzas,” he said. But Gallissot didn’t want to go through such a stressful experience again, and so started an initiative to move M6 to the cloud. Like many organizations dealing with surges of traffic, M6 decided on Kubernetes as the platform for a multicloud architecture, to ease the process of easily scaling up and down traffic. And one of the most crucial parts of the Kubernetes setup is routing the incoming traffic to the appropriate services. Kubernetes itself offers an option to capture the

You Can Do It! Learn How to Extend the Internet to Your Community

Every day, people around the world are caring for their neighbors by bringing them online. A lifeline for so many, the global COVID-19 has shown us that the Internet is now more important than ever. Yet nearly half the world’s population still has no access.

Driven by the desire to connect their communities in any way they can, people around the world are getting involved and building networks in new and innovative ways that complement traditional Internet/telecommunication access solutions. Do-it-yourself solutions built by the community, for the community.

Anyone can help build the Internet.

Not sure where to start? There’s a whole community of people out there who can help you get started. Together you’ll be able to learn how to build a network to serve your community (you CAN do it!), help talk to your government about sound policies to connect your community, or share new ideas. Maybe you’ll be able to create a new solution to connect people to the open Internet.

Your expertise counts. Everyone can get involved and learn from one another.


Need more inspiration? Here’s a story from Lillian Achom. Lillian started out with nerves and self-doubt about what she could contribute, but over Continue reading

A Peek Into Content Delivery Networks

I always enjoy an opportunity to talk about the ins and outs of what it’s like to do networking in industries that don’t follow the typical enterprise models. In today’s episode we’re doing just that. Brian Martin, from the Twitch network engineering team, is joining us to talk about what it’s like to run a network where the primary product is real-time streaming video. If you, like me, are interested in hearing what it takes to make a service like Twitch run, this episode is for you.

IBM rolls Red Hat into edge, AI, hybrid-cloud expansion

Deeply assimilating its Red Hat technology, IBM this week rolled out a set of new platforms and services designed to help customers manage edge-based application workloads and exploit artificial intelligence for infrastructure resiliency.The announcements came at IBM’s virtualized Think! 2020 event that also featured the first Big Blue keynote by the company's new CEO Arvind Krishna, during which he told the online audience about challenges of COVID-19: "History will look back on this as the moment when the digital transformation of business and society suddenly accelerated,” but also that hybrid cloud and AI are the two dominant forces driving digital transformation.To read this article in full, please click here

How to Become a Lab Support Tech

The medical field is one of the fastest growing fields for jobs in the U.S. If you are interested in working in this field, then you may want to consider becoming a lab support tech, also simply referred to as a lab tech.

Lab support techs have very important jobs, since these techs often perform tests that help physicians diagnose various illnesses in patients. To be a lab tech, you need to be able to pay attention to details and keep impeccable records. You also need to be highly organized and able to work at a fast pace.

Criteria for Becoming a Lab Support Tech

Here is what you need to do in order to become a lab support tech.

Get a high school diploma: You need to have a high school diploma in order to study to become a lab support technician. You need to concentrate on math and science subjects, as you will need to be good in these subjects in order to become a lab support tech.

Attend an accredited program: Once you graduate high school, you need to enroll in a lab tech program through an accredited college. The program is a 2-year program Continue reading

Introduction

Cloudflare Bot Management: machine learning and more

Building Cloudflare Bot Management platform is an exhilarating experience. It blends Distributed Systems, Web Development, Machine Learning, Security and Research (and every discipline in between) while fighting ever-adaptive and motivated adversaries at the same time.

This is the ongoing story of Bot Management at Cloudflare and also an introduction to a series of blog posts about the detection mechanisms powering it. I’ll start with several definitions from the Bot Management world, then introduce the product and technical requirements, leading to an overview of the platform we’ve built. Finally, I’ll share details about the detection mechanisms powering our platform.

Let’s start with Bot Management’s nomenclature.

Some Definitions

Bot - an autonomous program on a network that can interact with computer systems or users, imitating or replacing a human user's behavior, performing repetitive tasks much faster than human users could.

Good bots - bots which are useful to businesses they interact with, e.g. search engine bots like Googlebot, Bingbot or bots that operate on social media platforms like Facebook Bot.

Bad bots - bots which are designed to perform malicious actions, ultimately hurting businesses, e.g. credential stuffing bots, third-party scraping bots, spam bots and sneakerbots.

AWS Networking 101

There was an obvious invisible elephant in the virtual Cloud Field Day 7 (CFD7v) event I attended in late April 2020. Most everyone was talking about AWS, how their stuff runs on AWS, how it integrates with AWS, or how it will help others leapfrog AWS (yeah, sure…).

Although you REALLY SHOULD watch my AWS Networking webinar (or something equivalent) to understand what problems vendors like VMWare or Pensando are facing or solving, I’m pretty sure a lot of people think they can get away with CliffsNotes version of it, so here they are ;)

Data centers are shrinking but not going away

The cloud will not kill the data center, but it will transform it. That's one of the takeaways from the 2020 State of the Data Center report from AFCOM, the industry association for data center professionals.In the near term, construction will slow way down, which aligns with what IDC analyst Rick Villars told me about data center construction slowing after a big buildout. More than 60% of respondents to the AFCOM report said they have no plans to build a new facility in the next 12 months, although 53% said they'll have at least one data center in the works over the next 36 months.

NVIDIA’s aggressive purchases could signal the era of open networking

NVIDIA’s plans to acquire Cumulus Networks, a pioneer of using open source for networking, is a sign that open networking is finally ready for a big leap forward.Open networking has been tightly coupled with software-defined networking (SDN) because the combination promises to make networks significantly more agile, open and easier to customize to specific needs. Cumulus has been working on it for years, and NVIDIA started pushing into it when it acquired Mellanox last week.[Get regularly scheduled insights by signing up for Network World newsletters.] The question the Cumulus acquisition raises is “why now”? The concept of open networking has been hotly debated since SDN came into prominence. The concept is sound, and open systems will disrupt the network industry much as it did the compute space. Yet while Linux and open source are wildly successful in the compute industry, open source has yet to take off in networking outside of webscale networks and a handful of large organizations.To read this article in full, please click here
