Doubling the intern class – and making it all virtual
Earlier this month, we announced our plans to relaunch our intern hiring and double our intern class this summer to support more students who may have lost their internships due to COVID-19. You can find that story here. We’ve had interns joining us over the last few summers - students were able to find their way to us by applying to full-time roles and sometimes through Twitter. But, it wasn’t until last summer, in 2019, when we officially had our first official Summer Internship Program. And this year, we are doubling down.
Why do we invest in interns?
We have found interns to be invaluable. Not only do they bring an electrifying new energy over the summer, but they also come with their curiosity to help solve problems, contribute to major projects, and bring refreshing perspectives to the company.
- Ship projects: Our interns are matched with a team and work on real and meaningful projects. They are expected to ramp up, contribute like other members of the team and ship by the end of their internship.
- Hire strong talent: The internship is the “ultimate interview” that allows us to better assess new grad talent. The 12 weeks they spend with Continue reading

Tizona – Cli for Cloud Music
This is not a Network technology related post
https://tizonia.org/ – Opensource Project
In their own words ‘The most powerful cloud music player for the Linux terminal, with support for Spotify (Premium), Google Play Music (free and paid tiers), SoundCloud, YouTube, TuneIn radios, Plex servers and Chromecast devices.’
What this has to do with this Post:
I have just implemented in an old Raspberry Pi which I was about to throw away. Secondly, it’s a passive project from at least 4 years to play cloud music on Linux CLI.
Why this obsession?
Ever think about music play all day but a very very low volume, am that kind of person. I don’t really listen to it very particularly all the times, but some music lingering in low volumes [Am speaking about extremely low volumes] will always help.
Why not use your LAPTOP ?
The very point of spreading it accross the home and not having to deal with GUI interfaces. Its much better for me not to have control as well, I just skip the tracks and will never be able to listen to new tracks.
Secondly, I dont want to spend a lot of money on crazy hardware with Continue reading

When EVPN EBGP Session between Loopbacks Makes Sense
One of the attendees of our Building Next-Generation Data Center online course submitted a picture-perfect solution to scalable layer-2 fabric design challenge:
- VXLAN/EVPN based data center fabric;
- IGP within the fabric;
- EBGP with the WAN edge routers because they’re run by a totally different team and they want to have a policy enforcement point between the two;
- EVPN over IBGP within the fabric;
- EVPN over EBGP between the fabric and WAN edge routers.
The only seemingly weird decision he made: he decided to run the EVPN EBGP session between loopback interfaces of core switches (used as BGP route reflectors) and WAN edge routers.
Why I Have Almost Quit Podcasts
Fear Of Missing Out
People that know me know that I like to stay up to date on what’s going on in the industry, new technologies, and so on. Mostly this is because I have a passion for technology and for learning. However, there is almost certainly a part of me that also, as many people do, has the fear of missing out (FOMO). That is, you are afraid to get left behind so you keep sipping from the fire hose constantly, because you believe everyone else is doing the same.
So Much Content!
There are many many fine podcasts out there. I used to listen to Packet Pushers, Software Gone Wild, Talk Python to Me, Clear to Send, and many more. These shows are extremely good at producing content consistently. Unfortunately, that means that you have maybe 4-5h of content to consume each week. That’s too much for me.
It’s Not You, It’s Me
I’m a very analytical person. Both by nature, and in my job role as an Architect. My brain is constantly analyzing, thinking, trying to solve problems. This makes me very efficient, but it also adds stress, and can make it difficult to wind down. As Continue reading

Deploying to Kubernetes: The GitOps Way
Kubernetes adoption comes with a lot of challenges. One of them is consistently deploying applications to the platform. GitOps is a strategy which solves this problem and solves it at scale. In this blog, we will share how to leverage TravisCI and ArgoCD to design a highly scalable production-ready CI/CD workflow.
Deployment Workflow
GitOps follows one simple principle “Git is the Source of Truth”. The entire pipeline can be divided into two broad categories. (1) Continuous Integration, where we enable our developers to develop new features, test the code and merge it into a master. (2) Continuous Delivery, where we release new versions of the code for our customers.
Repo Structure
The application and the Kubernetes manifests/helm chart both reside in a git repository. The application source code’s git repo consists of various branches. Following the same principle, we also keep the helm charts for our microservices in a git repo itself. For the sake of this blog we will assume that each source code repository will have at least three (3) branches.
- Dev Branch: This gets deployed to the Dev Kubernetes Environment
- Staging Branch: This gets deployed to the Staging Kubernetes Environment
- Master Branch Continue reading
