When we first talked to Voltron Data following their launch in early 2022, we had to take care to explain why Apache Arrow was worth paying attention to and why it might warrant the level of enterprise support the startup promised. …

Martijn Van Overbeek left this comment on my LinkedIn post announcing the BGP MED lab:
It might be fixed, but I can recall in the past that there was a lot of quirkiness in multi-vendor environments, especially in how different vendors use it and deal with the setting when the attribute does exist or does not have to exist.
TL&DR: He’s right. It has been fixed (mostly), but the nerd knobs never went away.
In case you’re wondering about the root cause, it was the vagueness of RFC 1771. Now for the full story ;)

We’re happy to announce that Tigera recently achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Competency status. This designation recognizes the security capabilities of Tigera’s Calico Cloud platform in helping customers secure their AWS workloads and achieve their cloud security goals.
To receive the designation, AWS Partners must possess deep AWS expertise and deliver solutions seamlessly on AWS. After evaluating Calico Cloud’s security capabilities, including vulnerability management, container- and network-based threat detection, observability and security policy lifecycle, AWS found it surpassed the competency requirements.
This is the second AWS competency Tigera has achieved and we’re proud to add this new competency to our existing AWS Containers Software Competency. Our team is dedicated to helping companies achieve their Kubernetes and container security goals by combining our technology with the range of powerful security tools AWS provides.

It’s hard to influence the behavior of someone with strong opinions (just ask any parent with a screaming toddler), and trying to persuade an upstream ISP not to send the traffic over a backup link is no exception – sometimes even AS path prepending is not a strong enough argument.
An easy solution to this problem was proposed in 1990s – what if we could attach some extra attributes (called communities just to confuse everyone) to BGP updates and use them to tell adjacent autonomous systems to lower their BGP local preference? You can practice doing that in the Attach BGP Communities to Outgoing BGP Updates lab exercise.

Since the advent of distributed computing, there has been a tension between the tight coherency of memory and its compute within a node – the base level of a unit of compute – and the looser coherency over the network across those nodes. …

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Chicago this month at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2023. We had a chance to have many meaningful conversations about Kubernetes and container security, the latest in the open source ecosystem, and of course—Calico! Here are some highlights from the conference.
We had a ton of visitors at our booth this year and were happy to catch up with old friends as well as meet new ones. Tech problems for business needs, such as how to provide fixed IPs to workloads for communication outside of the Kubernetes cluster instead of architectural debates about the underlying dataplane, was a popular topic of discussion. Another was runtime security at the workload level (default-deny/zero trust). The issue of visibility into workload communication at scale overlaid with effective security policies also came up often. We were all too happy to show how Calico can help!
Those who joined us for our private cruise party enjoyed a guided architecture tour of the spectacular Chicago lakefront. The evening went swimmingly and offered our guests a chance to unwind and network while enjoying great food and an open bar, against a backdrop of glittering skyscrapers.
