Many people look forward to the day that they can quit the day job and become their own boss. In this episode we chat with Jody Lemoine and Bruno Wollmann, two people who have done just that, to discuss some of the lessons learned as they transitioned into independent self-employment in the networking space.

What benefits can Internet connectivity bring to Tribal and Indigenous communities – especially when it comes to language and culture preservation? That’s the topic of our panel proposal for South by Southwest (SXSW) 2020: “How Internet Access Can Preserve Native Cultures.”
And we’re excited to announce that you can now vote for it!
SXSW, is an annual conference held in Austin, Texas, USA. The conference’s many events include a music festival, networking opportunities, and panels that focus on technology, governance, film, culture, and music. The panels featured at SXSW live within tracks that range from health and medtech to innovative applications of new technologies. All panels at SXSW are chosen through a public vote so that participants can decide what they want to discuss at the event.
That’s where we need your help!
SXSW is a platform for bringing important policy issues and initiatives to light, which is why we’ve applied. It’s an ideal forum for exposing the impact that technology can have on culture.
If accepted, our panel would discuss specific issues that Tribal and Indigenous areas face when it comes to broadband deployment, the lessons that communities can learn from one another, and how they can Continue reading
One of my readers sent me a link to an interesting L2-over-IP "design". Someone tried to connect two data centers with redundant etherip links using home-brewed redundancy mechanism and (surprise, surprise) managed to bring both of them down. The obvious fix: patch the etherip device driver.
I don't know enough about OpenBSD to figure out whether (A) it doesn't have STP at all, (B) STP doesn't work over EtherIP, (C) host routing based on ARP entries would be too much of a hassle, (D) some people don't understand the networking fundamentals, (E) everything looks like a nail once you found a hammer, or (F) all of the above. Insightful comments would be highly appreciated.

In this post, I’d like to walk through setting up an AWS-integrated Kubernetes 1.15 cluster using kubeadm. Over the last year or so, the power and utility of kubeadm has vastly improved (thank you to all the contributors who have spent countless hours!), and it is now—in my opinion, at least—at a point where setting up a well-configured, highly available Kubernetes cluster is pretty straightforward.
This post builds on the official documentation for setting up a highly available Kubernetes 1.15 cluster. This post also builds upon previous posts I’ve written about setting up Kubernetes clusters with the AWS cloud provider:
All of these posts are focused on Kubernetes releases prior to 1.15, and given the changes in kubeadm in the 1.14 and 1.15 releases, I felt it would be helpful to revisit the process again for 1.15. For now, I’m focusing on the in-tree AWS cloud provider; however, in the very near future I’ll look at using the new external AWS cloud provider.
As pointed out in the “original” Continue reading
Turning to technical folks and their blogs is a good way to "not panic" when it comes to dealing with the trough of woe. In this episode, we'll talk to prolific technical blogger & VMware employee William Lam to get an insider's view of what happens to generate community-oriented content.

Today, we're open-sourcing an exciting project that showcases the strengths of our Cloudflare Workers platform: workers-graphql-server is a batteries-included Apollo GraphQL server, designed to get you up and running quickly with GraphQL.
As a full-stack developer, I’m really excited about GraphQL. I love building user interfaces with React, but as a project gets more complex, it can become really difficult to manage how your data is managed inside of an application. GraphQL makes that really easy - instead of having to recall the REST URL structure of your backend API, or remember when your backend server doesn't quite follow REST conventions - you just tell GraphQL what data you want, and it takes care of the rest.
Cloudflare Workers is uniquely suited as a platform to being an incredible place to host a GraphQL server. Because your code is running on Cloudflare's servers around the world, the average latency for your requests is extremely low, and by using Wrangler, our open-source command line tool for building and managing Workers projects, you can deploy new versions of your GraphQL server around the world within seconds.
If you'd like to try the GraphQL Continue reading

Today, multiple Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities were disclosed for a number of HTTP/2 server implementations. Cloudflare uses NGINX for HTTP/2. Customers using Cloudflare are already protected against these attacks.
The individual vulnerabilities, originally discovered by Netflix and are included in this announcement are:
As soon as we became aware of these vulnerabilities, Cloudflare’s Protocols team started working on fixing them. We first pushed a patch to detect any attack attempts and to see if any normal traffic would be affected by our mitigations. This was followed up with work to mitigate these vulnerabilities; we pushed the changes out few weeks ago and continue to monitor similar attacks on our stack.
If any of our customers host web services over HTTP/2 on an alternative, publicly accessible path that is not behind Cloudflare, we recommend you apply the latest security updates to your origin servers in order to protect yourselves from these HTTP/2 vulnerabilities.
We will soon follow up with more details on these vulnerabilities and how we mitigated them.

In Part 1 of our look into navigating Batfish with Cumulus, we explored how to get started with communicating with the pybatfish SDK, as well as getting some basic actionable topology information back. With the introduction out of the way, we’re going to take a look at some of the more advanced use cases when it comes to parsing the information we get back in response to our queries. Finally, we’re going to reference an existing CI/CD pipeline, where templates are used to dynamically generate switch configuration files, and see exactly where and how Batfish can fit in and aid in our efforts to dynamically test changes.
For a look under the covers, the examples mentioned in this series of posts are tracked in “https://gitlab.com/permitanyany/cldemo2”
As you may remember, in Part 1 we gathered the expected BGP status of all our sessions via the bgpSessionStatus query and added some simple logic to tell us when any of those sessions would report back as anything but “Established”. Building on that type of policy expectation, we’re going to add a few more rules that we want to enforce in our topology.
For example:
