As billions of us move into self-isolation, one thing is crystal clear: Internet access is critical. If anyone of us took it for granted before, COVID-19 has changed everything and rocketed the world into a new era. So it’s even more critical we build an Internet for everyone.
But we’ll only get there if we bring more diversity to the table when it comes to building infrastructure, developing sound policy, and creating the communities needed.
A lot of our work involves bringing people together. Network operators, policymakers, advocates, community members, and more. That’s because the Internet is built by people, and new ways to bring infrastructure to the world only come from what can happen when people come together.
In 2019, the Internet Society held the third annual Indigenous Connectivity Summit (ICS) in Hilo, Hawai’i.
Among the delegates were five Indigenous advocates from across North America who trained to become 2019 Indigenous Connectivity Summit Policy Advisors.
Based on conversation and outcomes from the Summit, they developed a set of recommendations to help policymakers in the United States and Canada make more inclusive decisions. These recommendations build on those developed at the previous Summits in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
These recommendations were then discussed and agreed Continue reading

NTC – Navigating Enterprise Process
Technology is only a small piece of the automation puzzle and automation efforts often require adjustments or updates to the ways companies do their day to day work. Today we’re continuing our focus on Network Automation and Programmability by talking about Navigating Enterprise Process during automation projects.

What Does a Global Pandemic Mean for the Internet?
This interview was originally published in Technical.ly.
The Internet has long been a connector beyond the physical. Now, it’s the only reason people are able to see their faraway loved ones and complete remote projects with their coworkers amid pandemic-prompted social distancing. It’s a great moment for the technology — and for hackers.
Reston, Virginia-based Internet Society is an advocacy organization that, in its words, promotes “the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people’s lives, and a force for good in society.”
Katie Jordan, a resident of Philadelphia’s Graduate Hospital neighborhood, joined the team in 2018 after serving as a policy and program manager at Next Century Cities where she worked with emerging tech issues. As Internet Society’s senior policy manager, Jordan develops and advocates for policy related to Internet access and security.
She talked to Technical.ly about what the Internet Society is focusing on now and if COVID-19 is going to change the way we use the Internet.
Technical.ly: What does Internet Society do when there’s not a pandemic, and how has your work shifted recently?
Jordan: It’s made everything feel more urgent. We’re not doing anything Continue reading
Moving from reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha
We recently migrated the CAPTCHA provider we use from Google's reCAPTCHA to a service provided by the independent hCaptcha. We're excited about this change because it helps address a privacy concern inherent to relying on a Google service that we've had for some time and also gives us more flexibility to customize the CAPTCHAs we show. Since this change potentially impacts all Cloudflare customers, we wanted to walk through the rationale in more detail.
CAPTCHAs at Cloudflare
One of the services Cloudflare provides is a way to block malicious automated ("bot") traffic. We use a number of techniques to accomplish that. When we are confident something is malicious bot activity we block it entirely. When we are confident it's good human traffic (or a good bot like a search engine crawler) then we let it through. But, sometimes, when we're not 100% sure if something is malicious or good we issue it a “challenge”.
We have different types of challenges, some are entirely automatic, but one requires human intervention. Those challenges are known as CAPTCHAs. That's an acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (a few Ts are dropped otherwise it'd be CAPTTTCHA). These Continue reading

VMware Delivers NSX-T 3.0 with Innovations in Cloud, Security, Containers, and Operations
We are excited to announce the general availability of VMware NSX-T
3.0, a major release of our full stack Layer 2 to Layer 7 networking platform that offers virtual networking, security, load balancing, visibility, and analytics in a single platform. NSX-T 3.0 includes key innovations across cloud-scale networking, security, containers, and operations that help enterprises achieve one-click public cloud experience wherever their workloads are deployed. As enterprises adopt cloud, containers, and new applications, IT teams are managing more heterogenous and distributed environments that need to be secured, automated, and monitored. The need to run and manage workloads on all types of infrastructure, VMs, containers, bare metal across both private and public clouds, is greater than ever. Enterprises need end-to-end software-defined solutions to fully automate, connect, and protect all their workloads.
As a key component of VMware Virtual Cloud Network, VMware NSX-T 3.0 includes groundbreaking innovations that make it easier to replace legacy appliances that congest data center traffic, achieve stronger security posture, and run virtual Continue reading

How To Use 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP App And Cloudflare Gateway To Protect Your Phone From Security Threats
Cloudflare Gateway protects users and devices from security threats. You can now use Gateway inside the 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP app to secure your phone from malware, phishing and other security threats.
The 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP app has secured millions of mobile Internet connections. When installed, 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP encrypts the traffic leaving your device, giving you a more private browsing experience.
Starting today, you can get even more out of your 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP. By adding Cloudflare Gateway’s secure DNS filtering to the app, you can add a layer of security and block malicious domains flagged as phishing, command and control, or spam. This protection isn’t dependent on what network you’re connected to - it follows you everywhere you go.
You can read more about how Cloudflare Gateway builds on our 1.1.1.1 resolver to secure Internet connections in our announcement. Ready to get started bringing that security to your mobile device? Follow the steps below.
Download the 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP mobile app
If you don’t have the latest version of the 1.1.1.1 w/ WARP app go to the Apple Continue reading

Building BGP Route Reflector Configuration with Ansible/Jinja2
One of our subscribers sent me this email when trying to use ideas from Ansible for Networking Engineers webinar to build BGP route reflector configuration:
I’m currently discovering Ansible/Jinja2 and trying to create BGP route reflector configuration from Jinja2 template using Ansible playbook. As part of group_vars YAML file, I wish to list all route reflector clients IP address. When I have 50+ neighbors, the YAML file gets quite unreadable and it’s hard to see data model anymore.
Whenever you hit a roadblock like this one, you should start with the bigger picture and maybe redefine the problem.
Why use Typha in your Calico Kubernetes Deployments?
Calico is an open source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and native host-based workloads. Calico supports a broad range of platforms including Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker EE, OpenStack, and bare metal. In this blog, we will focus on Kubernetes pod networking and network security using Calico.
Calico uses etcd as the back-end datastore. When you run Calico on Kubernetes, you can use the same etcd datastore through the Kubernetes API server. This is called a Kubernetes backed datastore (KDD) in Calico. The following diagram shows a block-level architecture of Calico.
Calico-node runs as a Daemonset, and has a fair amount of interaction with the Kubernetes API server. It’s easy for you to profile that by simply enabling audit logs for calico-node. For example, in my kubeadm cluster, I used the following audit configuration
To set the context, this is my cluster configuration.
As we are running Typha already, let us profile the API calls for both Calico and Typha components. I used the following commands to extract the unique API calls for each.
If you ignore the license key API calls from calico-node, you will see that the API calls Continue reading
