From Isolation to Preparedness and Empowerment in Rural Argentina
Nelso Rodríguez is a nurse and one of the founders of the community network in El Cuy, Patagonia, Argentina.
A little over a year ago, there was no Internet or mobile connection in my isolated town of El Cuy, population 540.
After several unsuccessful attempts by the provincial government to bring in satellite Internet – which was of very poor quality, at very high costs – our people began to demand an Internet for all.
After a newspaper article exposed our lack of connectivity, the Internet Society offered to help us set up a community network. There was a fiber-optic cable passing through a village just 50 kilometers away, which also had a tower with an Internet signal. So, a group of residents volunteered to dig the trenches for the anchors and lay the concrete. The Internet Society financed all the material and provided the technical expertise. After making a connection between two antennas, we managed to bring community Internet to El Cuy.
Our network has been up and running since February 2019, reaching almost 400 residents in El Cuy and another 100 in the nearby town of Cerro Policía. This has been spectacular in so many ways!

DDoS attacks have evolved, and so should your DDoS protection
The proliferation of DDoS attacks of varying size, duration, and persistence has made DDoS protection a foundational part of every business and organization’s online presence. However, there are key considerations including network capacity, management capabilities, global distribution, alerting, reporting and support that security and risk management technical professionals need to evaluate when selecting a DDoS protection solution.
Gartner’s view of the DDoS solutions; How did Cloudflare fare?
Gartner recently published the report Solution Comparison for DDoS Cloud Scrubbing Centers (ID G00467346), authored by Thomas Lintemuth, Patrick Hevesi and Sushil Aryal. This report enables customers to view a side-by-side solution comparison of different DDoS cloud scrubbing centers measured against common assessment criteria. If you have a Gartner subscription, you can view the report here. Cloudflare has received the greatest number of ‘High’ ratings as compared to the 6 other DDoS vendors across 23 assessment criteria in the report.
The vast landscape of DDoS attacks
From our perspective, the nature of DDoS attacks has transformed, as the economics and ease of launching a DDoS attack has changed dramatically. With a rise in cost-effective capabilities of launching a DDoS attack, we have observed a rise in the number of under 10 Gbps DDoS Continue reading
Empowering our Customers and Service Partners
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. Today, we want to highlight some of those amazing partners and our growing support and training for MSPs around the globe. We want to make sure service partners have the enablement and resources they need to bring a more secure and performant Internet experience to their customers.
This partner program tier is specifically designed for professional service firms and Managed Service Providers (MSPs and MSSPs) that want to build value-added services and support Cloudflare customers. While Cloudflare is hyper-focused on building highly scalable and easy to use products, we recognize that some customers may want to engage with a professional services firm to assist them in maximizing the value of our offerings. From building Cloudflare Workers, implementing multi-cloud load balancing, or managing WAF and DDoS events, our partner training and support enables sales and technical teams to position and support the Cloudflare platform as well as enhance their services businesses.
Training
Our training and certification is meant to help partners through each stage of Cloudflare adoption, Continue reading

Linux Network Observability: Building Blocks
As developers, operators and devops people, we are all hungry for visibility and efficiency in our workflows. As Linux reigns the “Open-Distributed-Virtualized-Software-Driven-Cloud-Era”— understanding what is available within Linux in terms of observability is essential to our jobs and careers.
Linux Community and Ecosystem around Observability
More often than not and depending on the size of the company it’s hard to justify the cost of development of debug and tracing tools unless it’s for a product you are selling. Like any other Linux subsystem, the tracing and observability infrastructure and ecosystem continues to grow and advance due to mass innovation and the sheer advantage of distributed accelerated development. Naturally, bringing native Linux networking to the open networking world makes these technologies readily available for networking.
There are many books and other resources available on Linux system observability today…so this may seem no different. This is a starter blog discussing some of the building blocks that Linux provides for tracing and observability with a focus on networking. This blog is not meant to be an in-depth tutorial on observability infrastructure but a summary of all the subsystems that are available today and constantly being enhanced by the Linux networking community for networking.

Who Cares About Networking At A Time Like This
We find ourselves recording this in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and I have to be honest that it’s been a bit challenging finding motivation to talk about networking when there’s so many other important things on people’s minds. I mean, who really cares about networking at a time like this? But as I started thinking about that very question the reality hit me, it’s everyone. Everyone cares about networking at a time like this because everyone, young and old, is using technology, networking, and specifically the Internet to hold on to whatever normalcy they can in these crazy times. The fact is that networking, and other core infrastructure skill sets have never been more important than they are right now. The real question I was challenged with wasn’t who cares about networking at a time like this, it’s who cares about a networking podcast at a time like this. I imagine some do, and some don’t, but we’re going to take today’s episode a bit lightly and just talk about what’s top of mind. We hope you’ll listen along.
