Zero-touch provisioning is always one of the big topics in the Building Network Automation Solutions online course, so we decided to invite Patrick Ogenstad (the author of excellent ZTP tutorial) to be a guest speaker in Spring 2019 course (register here).
In the meantime, enjoy his interview with Christoph Jaggi.

GraphIt may have caught your attention for the success of its approach, but I suspect for many readers it’s not something you’ll be immediately applying. Darwinian Data Structures (DDSs) on the other hand looks to be of immediate interest to many Java and C++ projects (and generalises beyond those languages).
What I would have called an ADT (e.g., a List), the authors call Darwinian Data Structures. The ‘Darwinian’ part comes from the fact that ADTs have multiple concrete implementations, and Artemis, “a multi-objective, cloud-based search-based optimisation framework” finds the best implementation class (e.g. ArrayList, LinkedList) for your specific use case. It does this using the NSGA-II genetic algorithm-based optimiser in the current implementation.
In brief, Artemis finds the places in your code where you are using an ADT, and explores the possible concrete instantiation space for those ADTs using your test suite as a guide to performance. Then it outputs the transformed source. You might be wondering whether e.g. LinkedList vs ArrayList makes that big a difference in most real world projects:
Artemis achieves substantial performance improvements for every project in Continue reading
Today, we’re excited to announce that Docker Store and Docker Cloud are now part of Docker Hub, providing a single experience for finding, storing and sharing container images. This means that:
Millions of individual users and more than a hundred thousand organizations use Docker Hub, Store and Cloud for their container content needs. We’ve designed this Docker Hub update to bring together the features that users of each product know and love the most, while addressing known Docker Hub requests around ease of use, repository and team management.

The company was pretty revolutionary with its idea to layer SDN on top of multiple third-party transport before all the SD-WAN vendors conceived of this.
The service provider is hoping to launch a cost-effective uCPE platform that supports more VNFs along with its SD-WAN early next year.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) once again came in No. 2, with 16.3 percent revenue share or $3.81 billion.

A regional U.S. carrier adds Parallel Wireless to its vendor portfolio to benefit from the flexibility of an open RAN approach for 4G and eventually 5G.
The carrier is near the half-way point on its 5-year journey in taking advantage of public cloud platforms.
That amount was a substantial premium over what Heptio had raised from investors and other similar deals in the Kubernetes space.
DPDK has extended its reach beyond packet processing and could be a universal API for other acceleration functions needed for effective NFV.

Our aim is to contribute to the growth and improvement of community networks policies and practices in Brazilian rural areas by strengthening marginalized movements and communities. Our project is supported by the Internet Society Beyond the Net Funding Programme and developed by the Brazil Chapter in partnership with the Instituto Nupef (Center of Research, Studies, and Learning) as well as the involvement of local communities.
Nupef’s role helps to build a statement of needs perceived by the communities involved and an evaluation of infrastructural conditions in the area. It takes note of conditions for sustainable maintenance of the network; training for local people; constitution of a cooperative-like structure to operate, maintain, and further develop the network; as well as basic training on content development, user security, and privacy issues.
Although access to broadband Internet has been growing in Brazil, there is still a huge gap in marginalized regions and populations, especially in rural areas in the North and Northeast. This is the case of the Quilombola communities living in rural areas with very few telecommunications, and where over 300 thousand women make their living from gathering babaçu palm tree Continue reading
