Datanauts 163: Hybrid Cloud DNS Design With AWS Route 53
Why is hybrid cloud DNS with AWS hard? What has AWS recently done to make it better? Should we use the new Route 53 Resolver features? The Datanauts tackles these questions and other cloud DNS issues with guest Matt Adorjan. We also explore Matt's CloudPing utility that measures inter-region latency in AWS.

The Internet of Things: Why ‘Trust By Design’ Matters
As we have seen vividly in recent years, inadequate security and privacy protections in the Internet of Things (IoT) can have devastating impacts – on Internet users and core infrastructure. The high profile Mirai botnet distributed denial of service (DDoD) attack in 2016 was a dramatic example of the effects of poor security in IoT devices, and CloudPets connected teddy bears were withdrawn from sale by most retailers after it was revealed that millions of voice recordings between parents and their children were exposed. But the threats from these insecure devices don’t vanish when they are updated or recalled, since there is often a large number of them still in service, and still vulnerable.
Because of this, the Internet Society is particularly focused on improving the security and privacy of consumer IoT. As a rapidly growing area, it is especially vulnerable and has been exploited by malicious actors.
That’s why we’re encouraging manufacturers to adopt Trust by Design.
“Trust by Design” – an umbrella term that includes Privacy by Design and Security by Design – is an essential component of a healthy IoT ecosystem. It has significant implications beyond IoT for the health of the Internet as a whole, and Continue reading

IaC – unit tests with jSNAPy and Ansible
JSNAPY is an open source tool released by Juniper Networks circa 2015 that is the Python version of the Juniper Snapshot Administrator. This tool in the most simplest sense gives us the ability to have unit-tests when working with Junos, much in the same way a developer would write tests against their code. JSNAPy creates snapshots of a device’s operational or configurational state, the content of which depends on tests. JSNAPy then can diff and check these snapshots, which when combined with your test logic, means you can detect when things change or don’t change as per your desire. It’s a simple but effective tool when working with Junos. In fact, if you have another system to take the snapshot, JSNAPy is really an XML snippet checking tool and thus, it can be used for multi-vendored environments!!!
JSNAPy is a great tool for not only dealing with operational changes, but also also for steady state change operations too through the use of both
preand
posttests and the logical operators JSNAPy supports. It’s worth mentioning you can call the snaps and tests anything you want. Bob and Alice are both valid examples of a snap name, but the advice Continue reading
How Common Are Data Center Meltdowns?
We all know about catastrophic headline-generating failures like AWS East-1 region falling apart or a major provider being down for a day or two. Then there are failures known only to those who care, like losing a major exchange point. However, I’m becoming more and more certain that the known failures are not even the tip of the iceberg - they seem to be the climber at the iceberg summit.

On today's Heavy Networking, we explore with sponsor Silver Peak the combination of SD-WAN and security; namely, how Silver Peak has partnered with Zscaler for cloud-based security scanning. We talk with a Silver Peak customer for an on-the-ground perspective, then drill into the tech details of the partnership, including encryption, policy enforcement, and operational impacts.
