Our KubeConversations series continues with a two-part episode on securing Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure. I attended KubeCon 2023 in Chicago and had the opportunity to speak with vendors and open-source maintainers about the work they're doing to help protect your Kubernetes environments. I talk about a Kubernetes Bill of Materials, protecting K8s from ransomware, protecting APIs and Web front-ends from attacks, and the state of cloud-native security.
As the technology landscape continues to evolve, the latest release of the Red Hat Ansible Certified Content Collection for amazon.aws introduces a suite of powerful modules that redefine the boundaries of automation within Amazon Web Services (AWS) while redefining how organizations approach security deployments and seamless migrations within the AWS ecosystem.
In our previous blog post, "What's New: Cloud Automation with amazon.aws 7.0.0," we presented the latest release, outlining the changes, new features and newly supported modules. In this blog post, we embark on an exploration of two interesting use cases that highlight the capabilities of these new Ansible-supported modules included in the amazon.aws 7.0 release. Let’s dive into it!

Use Case #1: Implementing Security Best Practices and Access Control for AWS Resources
Security in AWS is more critical than ever before, and the collection for AWS, amazon.aws 7.0, is up to the challenge with a host of new Identity and Access Continue reading
A previous BGP lab focused on the customer side of BGP communities: adding them to BGP updates to influence upstream ISP behavior. Today’s lab focuses on the ISP side of the equation: using BGP communities in a routing policy to implement RFC 1998-style behavior.

Connected networks allow every stakeholder to see exactly how different parts of the ecosystem interact and impact the customer experience and business outcomes.
Studying for a certification exam is also about grasping real-world concepts. And that’s exactly the approach David Coleman and David Westcott took when writing their CWNA study guide, now in its sixth edition. “The Davids” talk about the process of writing their book, the research involved, and the importance of making complex topics understandable for...

Ask nearly any Internet user, and they are bound to have their own personal list of favorite sites, applications, and Internet services for news, messaging, video, AI chatbots, music, and more. Sum that question up across a lot of users in a lot of different countries, and you end up with a sense of the most popular websites and services in the world. In a nutshell, that’s what this blog post is about: how humans interacted with the online world in 2023 from what Cloudflare observed.
Building on similar reports we’ve done over the past two years, we have compiled a ranking of the top Internet properties of 2023. In addition to our overall ranking, we chose 9 categories to focus on. One of these is a new addition in 2023: Generative AI. Here are the 9 categories we’ll be digging into:
Our method for calculating the results is the same as in 2022: we analyze anonymized DNS query data from our 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver, used by millions of Continue reading
The 2023 Cloudflare Radar Year in Review is our fourth annual review of Internet trends and patterns observed throughout the year at both a global and country/region level across a variety of metrics. Below, we present a summary of key findings, and then explore them in more detail in subsequent sections.
Global Internet traffic grew 25%, in line with peak 2022 growth. Major holidays, severe weather, and intentional shutdowns clearly impacted Internet traffic. 🔗
Google was again the most popular general Internet service, with 2021 leader TikTok falling to fourth place. OpenAI was the most popular service in the emerging Generative AI category, and Binance remained the most popular Cryptocurrency service. 🔗
Globally, over two-thirds of mobile device traffic was from Android devices. Android had a >90% share of mobile device traffic in over 25 countries/regions; peak iOS mobile device traffic share was 66%. 🔗
Global traffic from Starlink nearly tripled in 2023. After initiating service in Brazil in mid-2022, Starlink traffic from that country was up over 17x in 2023. 🔗
Google Analytics, React, and HubSpot were among the most popular technologies found on top websites. 🔗
There's no shame in sticking with simpler cloud architectures as long as they get the job done. Here's how simpler clouds can deliver better outcomes in certain instances.
In a recent blog post, Daniel Dib described a fantastic scenario: using a simple “why can’t I connect to a web site” question, explore everything from ARP/ND to DNS and TLS.
Obviously, you’ll never see anything that sane in a certification test. An interactive interview doesn’t scale (beyond CCDE), and using humans (and common sense judgment) creates potential legal liabilities (there were rumors that had been one of the reasons a talk with a proctor who could flunk you was dropped from the CCIE test).
