Another week, another survey that finds IT cannot keep up with the ever-expanding data overload. This time the problem surrounds network bandwidth and overall performance.A survey of 300 IT professionals conducted by management consultant firm Accenture found the majority feel their enterprise networks are not up to the task of handling big data and internet of things (IoT) deployments.

Automation Solution: Deploy BGP Routing with YANG Data Models

A while ago Ruben Tripiana tried to configure BGP on Cisco IOS using IETF YANG data models… and failed. In Spring 2019 Building Network Automation Solutions online course Chris Crook decided to deploy BGP routing on multiple platforms using YANG data models instead of configuration templates. Not only did he succeed, he also documented his work and the tools he used, and published the solution so you can replicate his efforts.

You can find many more network automation solutions created by the attendees of our automation course in solutions showcase.

50 ways to leak your data: an exploration of apps’ circumvention of the Android permissions system

50 ways to leak your data: an exploration of apps’ circumvention of the Android permissions system Reardon et al., USENIX Security Symposium 2019

The problem is all inside your app, she said to me / The answer is easy if you take it logically / I’d like to help data in its struggle to be free / There must be fifty ways to leak their data.

You just slip it out the back, Jack / Make a new plan, Stan / You don’t need to be coy, Roy / Just get the data free.

Hop it on the bus, Gus / You don’t need to discuss much / Just drop off the key, Lee / And get the data free…

— Lyrics adapted from “50 ways to leave your lover” by Paul Simon (fabulous song btw., you should definitely check it out if you don’t already know it!).

This paper is a study of Android apps in the wild that leak permission protected data (identifiers which can be used for tracking, and location information), where those apps should not have been able to see such data due to a lack of granted permissions. By detecting Continue reading

Controlling Information Flow: NATS Subjects and Queues

Publish/subscribe messaging platforms like NATS allow us to build highly event-driven software systems, where we can build software to constantly listen for relevant messages and take action accordingly. This is what makes EDI projects like StackStorm (a project I’ve worked on and written about before) - and others like it- so powerful. Another advantage of pub/sub systems is that publishers don’t have to know or care if anyone is listening.

NSX-T 2.5 What is new for Kubernetes

NSX-T 2.5 was released last week and now we also have the new NSX Container Plugin 2.5 on the market…. VMworld US 2019 is also over with announcements of huge innovations like NSX Intelligence, enhanced security, and improved operability and observability. You can find more information here! I would like to take this opportunity to specifically highlight the new containers capabilities we had been working on for this release.

What is new in NSX Container plugin (NCP)

Simplified UI (Policy API) support

With the introduction of the new intent-based Policy API and corresponding Simplified UI, administrators have seen that objects created by NCP for Kubernetes are not visible in the new UI. Instead they had to go to the Advanced Networking & Security tab that corresponds to the old imperative APIs. Furthermore, all related objects like T0, IP Block, IP Pool had to be created using the Advanced Networking & Security tab. I am happy to announce that from NCP 2.5+ we have a parameter in the NCP configmap (ncp.ini) policy_nsxapi that can be set to True. In that case, NCP will start calling the new intent-based API and all objects will be visible in the simplified UI. Continue reading

3 quick tips for working with Linux files

Linux provides a wide variety of commands for working with files — commands that can save you time and make your work a lot less tedious.Finding files When you're looking for files, the find command is probably going to be the first command to come to mind, but sometimes a well-crafted ls command works even better. Want to remember what you called that script you were working on last night before you fled the office and drove home? Easy! Use an ls command with the -ltr options. The last files listed will be the ones most recently created or updated.$ ls -ltr ~/bin | tail -3 -rwx------ 1 shs shs 229 Sep 22 19:37 checkCPU -rwx------ 1 shs shs 285 Sep 22 19:37 ff -rwxrw-r-- 1 shs shs 1629 Sep 22 19:37 test2 A command like this one will list only the files that were updated today:To read this article in full, please click here

NSX-T Data Center and EUC Design Guide Release

When it comes to VMware NSX, support for VMware Horizon deployments have been a staple ask every release.  NSX compliments Horizon deployments tremendously by:

  • Helping to provide the networking for the Horizon components
  • Identity and firewalling security for VDI and RDSH desktops
  • Endpoint protection
  • Load balancing

Earlier this year, NSX-T Data Center 2.4 was released which brought identity firewalling, endpoint protection, and other necessary features for customers to consume equivalent to NSX Data Center for vSphere.  The release of NSX-T Data Center 2.5 takes those features and provides even further scale enhancements to support small, medium, and the largest Horizon deployments.

NSX-T Data Center and EUC Design Guide

The NSX-T and EUC Design Guide takes information provided in the VMware Horizon Reference Architecture and the VMware NSX-T Reference Design Guide, and brings the two platforms together into a single solution.

Use Cases and What’s Covered

Let’s take a look at what all is covered and the use cases that NSX-T Data Center has for Horizon deployments:

Horizon Pod Alignment

NSX-T Data Center 2.5 supports massive scale that can cover an entire Horizon Pod scale, and more in some cases.  This design guide Continue reading
