New: Expert ipSpace.net Subscription
Earlier this month I got this email from someone who had attended one of my online courses before and wanted to watch another one of them:
Is it possible for you to bundle a 1 year subscription at no extra cost if I purchase the Building Next-Generation Data Center course?
We were planning to do something along these lines for a long time, and his email was just what I needed to start a weekend-long hackathon.
End result: Expert ipSpace.net Subscription. It includes:

Orca: differential bug localization in large-scale services Bhagwan et al., OSDI’18
Earlier this week we looked at REPT, the reverse debugging tool deployed live in the Windows Error Reporting service. Today it’s the turn of Orca, a bug localisation service that Microsoft have in production usage for six of their large online services. The focus of this paper is on the use of Orca with ‘Orion,’ where Orion is a codename given to a ‘large enterprise email and collaboration service that supports several millions of users, run across hundreds of thousands of machines, and serves millions of requests per second.’ We could it ‘Office 365’ perhaps? Like REPT, Orca won a best paper award (meaning MR scooped 2 out of the three awards at OSDI this year!).
Orca is designed to support on-call engineers (OCEs) in quickly figuring out the change (commit) that introduced a bug to a service so that it can be backed out. (Fixes can come later!). That’s a much harder task than it sounds in highly dynamic and fast moving environments. In ‘Orion’ for example there are many developers concurrently committing code. Post review the changes are eligible for inclusion in a Continue reading

Announcement: Cumulus recognized by both our employees & customers
It’s not every day you get recognized. But to get recognized TWICE in one day? Now that’s a rare experience. We’re thrilled to announce that Cumulus Networks has been recognized with both the FORTUNE 2018 50 Best Small and 100 Medium Size Companies to Work For award, as well as Gartner Customers’ Choice for Data Center Networking.
With recognition like this, we’re taking time to celebrate and appreciate the awesome and talented people we get to work with every day.
Cumulus awarded as a FORTUNE 2018 50 Best Small and 100 Medium Size Companies to Work For
The Fortune award is one of the most prestigious and for good reason — Their rigorous methodology focuses on more than just benefits and office snacks. According to their 2017 methodology statement:
All employees were invited to participate in the survey, which is designed to reveal whether the organization is consistently a great place to work for all its people. Meaning: Do employees trust the people they work for? Are they treated fairly and with respect? Are people proud of their work? Do they enjoy the folks they work with? Are great experiences available to everyone – or does it Continue reading

Encrypt that SNI: Firefox edition
A couple of weeks ago we announced support for the encrypted Server Name Indication (SNI) TLS extension (ESNI for short). As promised, our friends at Mozilla landed support for ESNI in Firefox Nightly, so you can now browse Cloudflare websites without leaking the plaintext SNI TLS extension to on-path observers (ISPs, coffee-shop owners, firewalls, …). Today we'll show you how to enable it and how to get full marks on our Browsing Experience Security Check.
Here comes the night
The first step is to download and install the very latest Firefox Nightly build, or, if you have Nightly already installed, make sure it’s up to date.
When we announced our support for ESNI we also created a test page you can point your browser to https://encryptedsni.com which checks whether your browser / DNS configuration is providing a more secure browsing experience by using secure DNS transport, DNSSEC validation, TLS 1.3 & ESNI itself when it connects to our test page. Before you make any changes to your Firefox configuration, you might well see a result something like this:
So, room for improvement! Next, head to the about:config page and look for the network.security.esni.enabled Continue reading
AIOps the next big thing for Enterprise IT?
Out of everything I think will be big in 2019, AIOps is near the top of the list. My current prediction is Artificial Intelligence (AI) making big moves in the enterprise IT Infrastructure and Operations market. AI-based technology is a hot topic in the media these days, everyone is exploring its benefits in a wide range of markets. From self-driving cars and industrial automation to advertising and fraud prevention. It’s no surprise that 2018 was predicted to be a dominating year for AI in IT. While I believe 2018 was a key year for AI getting it’s foot in the door of IT Ops, the reality is lagging behind the hype. In IT we hear a lot about machine learning, and big data, but with the reality of how this data is organized in most enterprises, the onus is still on us to get that data laid out in an organized structure to extract the potential that AI promises.
But how does all of this relate to IT Infrastructure and Operations? AIOps is the combination of AI and IT Operations. And while the IT community hears the AI related buzzwords, not many of us know where or how it can Continue reading
