Introducing Docker’s Windows Server Application Migration Program

Last week, we announced the Docker Windows Server Application Migration Program, designed to help companies quickly and easily migrate and modernize legacy Windows Server 2008 applications while driving continuous innovation across any application, anywhere.

We recognize that Windows Server 2008 is one of the most widely used operating systems today and the coming end-of-support in January 2020 leaves IT organizations with few viable options to cost-effectively secure their legacy applications and data. The Docker Windows Server Application Migration Program represents the best and only way to containerize and secure legacy Windows Server applications while enabling software-driven business transformation. With this new program, customers get:

Docker Enterprise: Leading Container Platform and only one for Windows Server applications.
Docker Enterprise is the leading container platform in the industry– familiar to millions of developers and IT professionals. It’s also the only one that runs Windows Server applications, with support for Windows Server 2016, 1709, 1803 and soon, 2019 (in addition to multiple Linux distributions.) Organizations routinely save 50% or more through higher server consolidation and reduced hardware and licensing costs when they containerize their existing applications with Docker Enterprise.

Industry-proven tools & services: Easily discover, containerize, and migrate with immediate Continue reading

Android does not support DHCPv6 and Google ‘Won’t Fix’ that

Since 2012 there has been a ticket open on Google's public 'Issue Tracker' requesting Android support DHCPv6. On 6th November the status of the issue was changed to 'Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)'.

The fact that Android does not support DHCPv6 may come as something of a surprise to those network engineers more familiar with IPv4. DHCP is a keystone of IP networks, one piece of network automation that has been widely adopted for years, and an important source of auditing by storing the IP and MAC address combination at the server.

Autoconfig baked-in

But hang on you 32-bit wranglers, we are talking v6 here and that protocol has host address generation baked in, in the form of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration, or SLAAC. In the v6 world, the local gateway acts as vital source of information for the attached end clients, issuing periodic Router Advertisements, or RAs. These advertisements can contain the local prefix, and if that is a /64 with the 'A' flag set, the end client can generate its own address; using the /64 as the network portion and making up the other 64 bits itself. Moreover, it allows clients to generate multiple, temporary prefixes to help prevent attacks Continue reading

We Won’t Save the Internet by Breaking It

On the anniversary of the armistice ending the First World War, more than 40 countries stood together for security online by signing the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace. The call, which sets out a list of challenges the world needs to tackle, seems to be promising on paper. From hacking to harming the public core – all of this needs to be addressed. And it needs to be addressed urgently.

Others signed the call too. The Internet Society signed because we believe it is a continuation of calls we have made before. It maintains that solutions to Internet issues must be developed together with other Internet stakeholders – each performing its role, and all working collaboratively.

This approach is what allows the Internet to thrive and is key to the ultimate success of this call. Open, decentralized, and distributed. It’s not the traditional multilateral way of doing things, but it is the Internet way – the only one that can work.

There are real and pressing Internet security concerns. It’s critical that signatories to the call do not imagine they can address the concerns alone. The Internet depends, as a technical fact, on cooperative voluntary action, so Continue reading

5 Tips to Harden Network Security in a Connected Enterprise

As security efforts evolve from the fixed edge to the elastic edge, organizations need to combine traditional and new best practices to keep their networks safe from today’s evolving cyber threats.

BrandPost: Top Ten Reasons to Think Outside the Router #8: Garbled VoIP Calls and Pixelated Video

How often have you been on a VoIP call only to experience dropouts or garbled sound? Or endured a video conference with pixelated images or even a frozen screen? The expanding use of Unified Communications (UC) applications has placed increased pressure on IT to deliver an exceptional user experience to employees. But when user experience deteriorates enough, it results in a flood of calls to the IT help desk. Delivering consistent, high quality real-time communications is difficult, if not impossible, with a traditional router-centric wide area network architecture.Why? Because conventional routers can’t overcome inevitable packet loss that negatively impacts quality voice and video communication quality and the user’s experience and productivity. WAN architectures based on traditional routers typically backhaul all traffic to a headquarters-based data center, adding latency or delay that contribute to poor quality.To read this article in full, please click here

Sunset of VXLAN. Really?

A lightning talk at the recent RIPE77 conference focused on shortcomings of VXLAN and rise of Geneve.

So what are those perceived shortcomings?

No protocol identifier – a single VXLAN VNI cannot carry more than one payload type. Let me point out that MPLS has the same shortcoming, as does IPsec.

Troubleshooting NGINX Ingress Rewrites in Kubernetes

When deploying an application to Kubernetes, you almost certainly will want to create a Service to represent that application. Rather than relying on direct connectivity to Pods, which may be ephemeral, Services by contrast are long-living resources that sit on top of one or more Pods. They are also the bare minimum for allowing those pods to communicate outside the cluster. While Services are a nice abstraction so we don’t have to worry about individual Pods, they are also fairly dumb.

What is Network Observability?

If you have ambitions to improve reliability through experimention you MUST have observability. You cannot know if you’re getting better without thi. https://twitter.com/tammybutow/status/1067135822204329984 If you don’t set the SLOs for your network, someone else will, and you probably won’t like it. Basically, if we don’t go up the stack and quantify success using application-specific metrics, someone else will do it for us, and we’ll be left out of the loop.
