In all of the excitement and buzz around Kubernetes, one important factor in the conversation that seems to be glossed over is how and where containerized applications are built. Going back to Docker’s roots, it was developers who were the first ones to adopt Docker containers. It solved their own local development issues and made it easier and faster to get applications out the door.
Fast forward 5 years, and developers are more important than ever. They build modern apps and modernize existing apps that are the backbone of organizations. If you’re in IT operations and selecting application platforms, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is making this decision in isolation, without development buy-in.
In the early days of public cloud, developers started going around IT to get fast access to computing resources, creating the first round of “Shadow IT”. Today, most large enterprises have embraced cloud applications and infrastructure, and work collaboratively across application development and operations teams to serve their needs.
But there’s a risk we’ll invite the same thing to happen again by making a container platform decision that doesn’t involve your developers. Here are 3 reasons to Continue reading
ARIN is the official network numbers register for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, as well as ASNs, for North America. The IPv6 Buzz crew talk with Mark Kosters, ARIN's CTO, about its role in providing IPv6 address resources, policy, and advocacy.

On today's Day Two Cloud podcast, host Ned Bellavance checks in on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which launched to the public in June of 2018. Ned and guest Justin Luk discuss why Microsoft rolled out AKS when it already had existing container services, business drivers for AKS, customer adoption, lessons learned, and more.

Today, I’m very pleased to announce the release of a completely overhauled version of our Firewall Event log to our Free, Pro and Business customers. This new Firewall Events log is now available in your Dashboard, and you are not required to do anything to receive this new capability.
We have done away with those pesky modals, providing a much smoother user experience. To review more detailed information about an event, you simply click anywhere on the event list row.
In the expanded view, you are provided with all the information you may need to identify or diagnose issues with your Firewall or find more details about a potential threat to your application.
Cloudflare has several Firewall features to give customers granular control of their security. With this control comes some complexity when debugging why a request was stopped by the Firewall. To help clarify what happened, we have provided an “Additional matches” count at the bottom for events triggered by multiple services or rules for the same request. Clicking the number expands a list showing each rule and service along with the corresponding action.
Stumbled upon an excellent redundancy-focused blog post (HT: High Scalability). Here are just a few important points:
I’m guessing that people promoting stretched VLANs, vSphere and/or NSX clusters running across multiple sites, weird combination of EVPN and OTV, and a dozen similar shenanigans never considered any one of these points.
In the last five years, Africa’s international traffic patterns have changed, with international and intra regional traffic growing, according to the latest statistics from Telegeography, presented at this year’s AfPIF.
Johannesburg, Cape Town, Lagos, and Nairobi maintain their top hub status, but Cotonou, Kigali, Libreville, Abidjan, and Dakar have emerged as major hubs as international traffic grows. Cotonou recorded 88Gps between 2018 and 2019, showing a 77% growth, while Kigali recorded 75Gbps, a 92% growth, and Libreville had 113Gbps at 71% growth.
This was attributed to a drastic reduction in connectivity costs, which led to more data center space and eventual demand for more capacity to other international hubs. West African connection, especially between Dakar, Abidjan, Accra, and Lagos has also increased.
Telegeography monitors international transit traffic and the presentation was one of the highlights of the day. Domestic traffic is a bit harder to capture but Telegeography promised to work with more providers to get future snapshots of the growing traffic.
The presentation by Telegeography explored the shifting connectivity landscape in Africa and its effect on interconnection hubs, showing that new hubs may soon emerge, as more and more cities reduce the cost of connectivity and invest in more Continue reading
Now that the agenda for AnsibleFest is live, we wanted to take a closer look at each of the tracks that we will offer. Soon you will be able to start building out your schedule for AnsibleFest, so we want to help you figure out what tracks and sessions will be best for you! We talked with Track Lead Andrius Benokraitis to learn more about the Network Automation track and the sessions within it.
Who is this track best for?
This track is best for Network Operators, Network Engineers, Cloud Operators, and DevOps Engineers. It is great for people who are looking to learn more about automating the configuration, management and operations of a computer network.
What topics will this track cover?
This track will cover topics that include operational application of Red Hat Ansible Automation for network use cases, including devices such as: switches, routers, load balancers, firewalls. We will also be discussing different point of views: Developer of modules vs. User and implementer of modules and roles. There will also be a discussion around how enterprises are using Ansible Automation as a platform for large scale network deployments.
What should attendees expect Continue reading
