The Week in Internet News: The Digital Divide During a Pandemic
The great divide: The continuing digital divide in the U.S. is hurting people as they try to shop, attend school, and work during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, The Guardian says. Broadband Now estimates that 42 million U.S. residents don’t have Internet access, and M-Lab says that the majority of residents in 62 percent of the counties across the U.S. don’t have adequate broadband speeds.
The struggle is real: Meanwhile, students in rural Alabama are struggling to complete their schoolwork because a lack of Internet access, according to an Associated Press story at Enewscourier.com. In nine Alabama counties, less than 30 percent of the population has access. “We don’t want to leave 20 to 30 percent of our population behind just because of where they live,” said John Heard, school superintendent in Perry County.
The good news: Even with many people across the world working from home or attending school from home, the Internet is holding up, ZDNet reports. Fastly, an edge cloud computing provider, found that in the hard-hit New York and New Jersey area, Internet traffic jumped by nearly 45 percent in March, but download speeds decreased by less than 6 percent. In California, traffic Continue reading

HS. Part 3. Working out graphs capabilities for the network modelling.
Hello my friend,
There was quite a considerable amount of the feedbacks on the previous post about the data centre network visualisation with graphs. Originally we planned to cover the topology generation today. However, we changed the plan to improve the math model of our graph to make it more flexible and useful from modelling perspective.

Kubernetes DR
Recently, we had a customer issue where a production GKE cluster was deleted accidentally which caused some outage till the cluster recovery was completed. Recovering the cluster was not straightforward as the customer did not have any automated backup/restore mechanism and also the presence of stateful workloads complicated this further. I started looking at some … Continue reading Kubernetes DRResponse: Cisco Licensing Made Easier

When do You Quit Certifications?
I received a question on Twitter from my friend Fernando on feedback on when to give up on certifications:
First of all, not everyone will agree that you even need certifications. That’s another discussion and I think there are not many reasons to avoid them entirely, but let’s assume that you already have certifications, when do you give up on them?
That is going to be a choice each person has to make, and it will depend on a number of factors, I think. Here are some that immediately come to mind:
- How do you learn?
- Current role
- Bonus models
- Future role
- Number of years in the industry
- Body of work
- Are you well known in the industry?
What’s your method for learning a new skill? People use certifications differently but for me it’s about a guided learning path. I know roughly what to study to become decently skilled at a topic. For example, when I wanted to learn more about AWS and their networking, I decided to study for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate. For me, it’s motivating to Continue reading
Git Tip: Use Word Diff
Git is great (once you get beyond the basic recipes), and I love my new blog setup that allows me to keep track of all the changes I make with Git.
However, there’s a slight gotcha if you use Git with Markdown: whenever you change something, the whole line (and using tools like IA Writer a whole paragraph is a single line) is marked as changed, for example:
Helping with COVID-19 Projects: Cloudflare Workers now free through Project Galileo
The Internet has been vital to our response to the COVID-19 crisis: enabling researchers to communicate with the rest of the world, connecting resources with people who need them, and sharing data about the spread.
It’s been amazing to see some of the projects people have stood up on Cloudflare Workers to assist during this crisis. Workers allows you to get set up in minutes, it’s fast and scalable out of the box, and there’s no infrastructure to maintain or scale, which is great if you want to create a project quickly.
To support critical web projects that help in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re giving free access to our Cloudflare Workers compute platform through Project Galileo. We believe sites, apps, APIs, and tools that can help people with COVID-19 are exactly the type of critically important projects that Project Galileo was designed to support.
Free Cloudflare Workers
One of the earliest impacts of the COVID-19 crisis was the switch that many organizations made to a fully remote model. As that happened, and we realized that many organization’s VPNs were not up to the task of scaling to support this increased load, Cloudflare made Cloudflare for Continue reading

Interesting: Easy Analytics with Elastic Stack
Adrian Giacometti described how he used Elastic Stack (ELK) to build a dashboard for his integration tests and network logs.
Maybe it’s time to build our own network monitoring systems from open-source components instead of paying vendors big bucks for slick PowerPoint slides.
