Every now and then I find an IT professional claiming we should not be worried about split-brain scenarios because you have redundant links.
I might understand that sentiment coming from software developers, but I also encountered it when discussing stretched clusters or even SDN controllers deployed across multiple data centers.
Finally I found a great analogy you might find useful. A reader of my blog pointed me to the awesome Why Must Systems Be Operated blog post explaining the same problem from the storage perspective, so the next time you might want to use this one: “so you’re saying you don’t need backup because you have RAID disks”. If someone agrees with that, don’t walk away… RUN!

Networking for young professionals is often thought to be the way to get started in a career, and while networking can help young professionals find their first job, there are also a number of different benefits of networking for young professionals other than just learning how to network for a job. Here is a look at some of those additional benefits of networking for young professionals.
Networking with other professionals in the same career can help you to identify the best practices in your given field. This can be extremely important to young professionals just starting out, because it can show them things to suggest to their employer that may increase production or safety. This will have the added benefit of putting you on your employer’s or manager’s radar as someone to watch when it comes to giving out future promotions.
Networking with other professionals in your field can keep you updated on changing trends in your particular business. In order to grow as a professional, you need to constantly keep up on the various trends in your business to Continue reading
2019 was a big year for Kubernetes adoption, and 2020 is sure to exceed that pace. Already, we have seen a large number of organizations migrating their workloads to Kubernetes (k8s) both in public and private clouds as they embrace a hybrid cloud strategy. With so much at stake, what are you currently using for network security inside your k8s cluster?
Let’s take a step back to a time when you were deploying applications to VMs in AWS, GCP or Azure (in the case of public clouds) or vSphere, etc. in private clouds. One of the most important tasks before provisioning infrastructure and deploying applications was to chalk out firewall considerations. These requirements were fulfilled using security group rules in the case of AWS or firewall rules in GCP. We all understand their importance. But doing the same involving Kubernetes was extremely challenging. Today, we can solve those problems for you with just a few clicks.
Most recently with the increase in k8s adoption we have seen operations and platform teams hustling to implement a plethora of monitoring tools, logging backends and CI/CD tools. While all of this is Continue reading
