The Management Plane of Multi-Cloud Networking – Aviatrix CoPilot
Recently, Aviatrix launched a new product called CoPilot to address the dire need of operational visibility in multi-cloud networking. This piqued my interest because the none of the Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) provide any topology tools for end-to-end visualization, monitoring and troubleshooting. So I decided to attend the launch event. Some of the biggest challenges … Continue reading The Management Plane of Multi-Cloud Networking – Aviatrix CoPilotNext Generation Cognitive Networking
Just a decade ago, public cloud titans Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure Cloud, became synonymous with elastic scaling, and software provisioning through APIs. This was a phenomenon that didn’t exist within closed legacy systems.
Private clouds, by contrast, saw the relevance of enterprise customers recreating an infrastructure based on public cloud principles operating at a smaller scale. In an ideal world, both clouds would allow application developers to create and choose where to deploy applications without trade-offs. Arista pioneered technology development in this cloud networking category and today with Covid-19 restrictions driving millions of users to work-from-home, there are tremendous pressures on network access and bandwidth.

Deploying IPv6 in Public Clouds is Easy
One of the hands-on exercises in our Networking in Public Cloud Deployments online course asks the attendees to deploy a full-blown virtual networking solution with a front-end (web) server in a public subnet, and back-end (database) server in a private subnet.
The next (optional) exercise asks them to add IPv6 to the mix for a full-blown dual-stack deployment.
On Duplicates
Packet duplication wastes bandwidth and can lead to significant network performance degradation or even outages.
In multicast routing, packets are replicated by the network, so there is always a fundamental risk of duplicate traffic. Special safeguards exist to avoid …
On this 50th Earth Day, We Are Using The Internet To Change The World
50 years ago when the first Earth Day happened, the networks that would later form the Internet were only beginning.
20 years later, when Earth Day 1990 turned the celebration into a global event, the World-Wide Web existed only as a single website in Switzerland.
Today, the Internet is our lifeline. In a world locked down by coronavirus, the Internet is how we connect. It is how we communicate, collaborate, and create together. It is how we work and how we play. And on this Earth Day 2020, we will use the Internet to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
Each and every day, we are using the Internet to respond to climate change and other environmental issues:
- Scientists are collaborating and sharing their knowledge. They are finding new solutions and creating new programs.
- Projects are crowdsourcing vast amounts of data from regular people around the world (ex. Earth Challenge 2020)
- We are sharing ideas and learning from each other.
- Policy makers are learning what works in other regions.
- We are avoiding unnecessary travel and reducing our carbon footprint.
- Activists are joining in global movements.
- We are seeing that what affects someone in one part of the world may affect us Continue reading
Coding Packets the 11ty Edition
The story of how and why I migrated codingpackets.com to 11ty.Coding Packets the 11ty Edition
Last year I migrated codingpackets.com to a rails stack hosted on a digital ocean droplet. You can read about that here. I really love rails and was completely happy with that choice however, I am tired of managing infrastructure for what is essentially a static site. Therefore I decided...T-Systems Taps Juniper for Managed SD-WAN

Designing On-Prem Kubernetes Networks for High Availability
Designing and maintaining networks is hard. When deploying Kubernetes in your on-prem data center, you will need to answer a basic question: Should it be an overlay network on top of an existing network, or should it be part of an existing network? The Networking options table provides guidelines to choose the right type of networking based on various factors. If you decide to use native peering (pre-dominant option for on-prem), you will have to configure the network to ensure availability in the event of network outage (ex. Cable disconnected, TOR switch failure etc.). We cover a typical L3 highly-available network design in this post.
A cluster spans multiple racks. In an L3 deployment, these racks have different CIDR ranges. So the nodes in different racks should be able to talk to each other. Referring to the diagram below, that traffic goes through the network fabric. If you want to build out such a lab for your own learning, here is the example.
If you have a leaf-spine fabric with a single TOR (top-of-rack, or leaf switch), then that TOR becomes a point of failure for the entire rack. If all the master nodes are on the same Continue reading
