Today's Day Two Cloud podcast explores the struggle of transitioning from traditional infrastructure ops to the public cloud using DevOps principles and new tools. My guest is Aaron Strong, a cloud architect. We talk about how to skill up quickly, where to start, when and where to ask for help, and more.

Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better Internet. One of the tools used in pursuit of this goal is computer science research. We’ve learned that some of the difficult problems to solve are best approached through research and experimentation to understand the solution before engineering it at scale. This research-focused approach to solving the big problems of the Internet is exemplified by the work of the Cryptography Research team, which leverages research to help build a safer, more secure and more performant Internet. Over the years, the team has worked on more than just cryptography, so we’re taking the model we’ve developed and expanding the scope of the team to include more areas of computer science research. Cryptography Research at Cloudflare is now Cloudflare Research. I am excited to share some of the insights we’ve learned over the years in this blog post.
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Team structure | Hybrid approach. We have a program that allows research engineers to be embedded into product and operations teams for temporary assignments. This gives people direct exposure to practical problems. |
| Problem philosophy | Impact-focused. We use our expertise and the expertise of partners in industry and academia to select projects that Continue reading |

Hello my friend,
Earlier in this year we’ve discussed zero touch provisioning using the Data Centre Fabric Enabler Infrastructure. As always in my articles, I’ve used wonderful VM images, which are freely available on the Internet. Nevertheless, when you deal with real boxes, various caveats might arise. Today we’ll review how to bring Mellanox switch SN 2010 to the operational state running Cumulus Linux using the ZTP framework I’ve already created.

Special thanks for Avi Alkobi from Mellanox and Pete Crocker and Attilla de Groot from Cumulus for providing me the Mellanox switch and Cumulus license for the tests.
It is always exciting to do something for the first time. I have never written about any particular network device. Mostly because I always separate, as far as it is possible, the relationship between my current employer, which is The Hut Group as of today, and my blog. And this is the justification, why Continue reading
In Never-Ending Story of IP Fragmentation I described how you could use TCP Maximum Segment Size to minimize the impact of IP fragmentation and PMTUD blackholes (more details on TCP MSS clamping)… but one has to wonder how people use TCP MSS in the wild and what values you might see.
As is often the case, Geoff Houston found a way to measure them, and published the answer: TCP MSS Values
Updating graph databases with Cypher Green et al., VLDB’19
This is the story of a great collaboration between academia, industry, and users of the Cypher graph querying language as created by Neo4j. Beyond Neo4j, Cypher is also supported in SAP HANA Graph, RedisGraph, Agnes Graph, and Memgraph. Cypher for Apache Spark, and Cypher over Gremlin projects are also both available in open source. The openCypher project brings together Cypher implementors across different projects and products, and aims to produce a full and open specification of the language. There is also a Graph Query Language (GQL) standards organisation.
Cypher is used in hundreds of production applications across many industry vertical domains, such as financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing and retails, logistics, government, and healthcare.
Personally I would have expected that number to be in the thousands by now and there are some suggestions that it is, however Neo4j are still only claiming ‘hundreds of customers’ on their own website.
The read-only core of the Cypher language has already been fully formalised. But when it came time to extend that formalism to include the update mechanisms, the authors ran into difficulties.
Our understanding of updates in the popular graph Continue reading
