What Is Closed-Loop Automation?
During Networking Field Day 22 last week, a lot the questions that were directed at the presenters had to do with their automation systems. One term kept coming up that I was embarrassed to admit that I’d never heard of. Closed-loop automation is the end goal for these systems. But what is closed-loop automation? And why is it so important. I decided to do a little research and find out.
Open Up
To understand closed-loop systems, you have to understand open-loop systems first. Thankfully, those are really simple. Open-loop systems are those where the output isn’t directly affected by the control actions of the system. It’s a system where you’re going to get the output no matter how you control it. The easiest example is a clothes dryer. There are a multitude of settings that you can choose for a clothes dryer, including the timing of the cycle. But no matter what, the dryer will stop at the end of the cycle. There’s no sensor in a basic clothes dryer that senses the moisture level of the clothes and acts accordingly.
Open-loop systems are stable and consistent. Every time you turn on the dryer, it will run until it finishes. Continue reading

Multi-SSO and Cloudflare Access: Adding LinkedIn and GitHub Teams
Cloudflare Access secures internal applications without the hassle, slowness or user headache of a corporate VPN. Access brings the experience we all cherish, of being able to access web sites anywhere, any time from any device, to the sometimes dreary world of corporate applications. Teams can integrate the single sign-on (SSO) option, like Okta or AzureAD, that they’ve chosen to use and in doing so make on-premise or self-managed cloud applications feel like SaaS apps.
However, teams consist of more than just the internal employees that share an identity provider. Organizations work with partners, freelancers, and contractors. Extending access to external users becomes a constant chore for IT and security departments and is a source of security problems.
Cloudflare Access removes that friction by simultaneously integrating with multiple identity providers, including popular services like Gmail or GitHub that do not require corporate subscriptions. External users login with these accounts and still benefit from the same ease-of-use available to internal employees. Meanwhile, administrators avoid the burden in legacy deployments that require onboarding and offboarding new accounts for each project.
We are excited to announce two new integrations that make it even easier for organizations to work securely with third parties. Starting Continue reading

How To Prevent Dry Throat Due To Public Speaking
Whether required to speak to the public occasionally, or more or less a regular basis, most people suffer from nerves, which ends up with their saliva drying up, and many speakers stating that they experience severe dry throat that “feels like a hairball in my throat.”
Speaking around this hairball feeling can be difficult. In other cases, colds and allergies can result in sore dry throats that makes it difficult to talk, which can affect teachers and other professionals who need to do a lot of public speaking during the course of any day. This makes it essential that people who need to speak in public find something that will help to prevent that dry throat due to public speaking.
What to Do if It Feels Like a Hairball in My Throat
Learn Some Relaxation Techniques
If you are one of those people who gets nervous speaking in public and complains that it “feels like a hairball in my throat,” then learning some relaxation techniques that you can use just minutes before getting up in public and speaking may help calm your nerves and ease or prevent that dry feeling in your throat.

| SONiC: sFlow High Level Design |
- The open source Host sFlow agent running in the sFlow container monitors the Redis database (in the Database container) for sFlow related configuration changes.
- The syncd container monitors the configuration database and pushes hardware settings (packet sampling) to the ASIC using the SAI (Switch Abstraction Inteface) driver (see SAI 1.5).
- The ASIC driver hands sampled packet headers and associated metadata captured by the ASIC to user space via the Linux PSAMPLE netlink channel (see Linux 4.11 kernel extends packet sampling support).
- The Host sFlow agent receives the PSAMPLE messages and forwards them to configured sFlow collector(s) as standard sFlow packet samples.
- In addition, the Host sFlow agent streams telemetry (interface counters and host metrics gathered from the Redis database and Linux kernel) to the collector(s) as standard sFlow counter records.
