My Adventuring YouTube Channel
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been organizing my collection of media files. I discovered a bunch of video lurking in an archive folder I’d forgotten about, featuring hiking and other adventures. So, I uploaded several of these usually short videos to my personal YouTube channel featuring mostly the New Hampshire wilderness & mountains.
This kicked off a chain reaction to upload more current adventuring video. If this is your sort of thing, enjoy at https://www.youtube.com/user/nh48ecb/. If this is not your sort of thing, thanks for humoring me.
If you’re not sure what to think, here’s a short video I re-discovered that gives you an idea of the scenery I’ve collected over the years. Maybe that will help you decide if you care. 
Connecting my Dev VM to GCP: Test driving sshuttle
I have been working on a project which requires me to connect to my test environment deployed on GCP. We don’t have public IPs available for all the VMs in the test environment, but one of the VMs in the deployment is configured as a JumpHost i.e it has a public IP available. We need … Continue reading Connecting my Dev VM to GCP: Test driving sshuttleCEX (Code EXpress) 01. It starts with… the installation.
Hello my friend,
Time to time we are getting the messages from you that it is getting tougher to find a proper job in the pure networking world. Success of self-service models coming from the clouds and hyperscalers creates the push on the traditional networking business. In its turn, this transformation requires network engineers to gain new skills such as programming and data analytics.
Network automation training – boost your career
Don’t wait to be kicked out of IT business. Join our network automation training to secure your job in future. Come to NetDevOps side.
If you still don’t feel it is necessary, take a look at skills needed for network engineer role these days at open job positions.
Introduction to the Code EXpress (CEX) format
To avoid any confusions, we continue writing about multivendor network development and automation. However, we feel it is necessary to start talking also about the software development and programming at a basic level. The network engineers in a vast majority aren’t very familiar with the Python, Ansible and even Bash, so we want to cover this gap.
The best way to get comprehensive skills in this area is to get to our network automation Continue reading

Worth Reading: SD-WAN Scalability Challenges
In January 2020 Doug Heckaman documented his experience with VeloCloud SD-WAN. He tried to be positive, but for whatever reason this particular bit caught my interest:

Introducing our Open Standards Everywhere project – securing web servers in 2020!
How do you make your web server as secure as possible – while using the latest open security standards? How do you ensure your web site is available to everyone across all the global network of networks that is the Internet?
For the Internet to remain open, globally-connected, trustworthy, and secure, we believe the networks and servers that make up the Internet need to be based on the latest and most secure standards coming out of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Many web server administrators may want to support the latest standards and protocols, but they don’t know how, and don’t necessarily have the time to figure it out. It may be item #393 in a long list of to-dos. Web site administrators may not be aware of the latest open standards, or may not know why they should support these standards.
As part of our Action Plan 2020, we are launching the Open Standards Everywhere project, with a focus in 2020 on the security and availability of web servers.
The project has four main components:
- Build four reference servers – Using apache and nginx, with and without a CDN, and using Continue reading

Meraki Is Almost An Enterprise Solution
You may remember a three or so years ago when I famously declared that Meraki is not a good solution for enterprises. I know the folks at Meraki certainly haven’t. The profile for the hardware and services has slowly been rising inside of Cisco. More than just wireless with the requisite networking components, Meraki has now embraced security, SD-WAN, and even security cameras. They’ve moved into a lot of areas that customers have been asking about while also still trying to maintain the simplicity that Meraki is known for.
Having just finished up a Meraki presentation during Tech Field Day Extra at Cisco Live Europe, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the progress that Meraki has been making toward embracing their enterprise customer base. I’m not entirely convinced that they’ve made it yet, but the progress is starting to look good.
Playing for Scale
The first area where Meraki is starting to really make strides is in the scalability department. This video from Tech Field Day Extra is all about new security features in the platform, specifically with firewalls. Take a quick look:
Toward the end of the video is one of Continue reading
