Automation for Success
Businesses with high growth, complex tasks and repetition, tend to rely on or require automation to fulfill business challenges. Introducing automation is not without challenges and sometimes they can be quite significant. Identifying success is one of the early crucial activities that creates a business alignment. The identification exercise highlights justification for one more decisions and the removal of friction. Some of the decisions are not easy to make and friction is not easy to experience without applying pressure to various parts of an organization.
What follows is a number of scenarios with some reasoning around the kind of challenges that you’re already facing or likely to face.
If the absolute reasons are known, accepted and aligned against, you have just laid one of the foundational layers for success.
Challenge: High Growth
Great news and bad news. You’re in a business under stress from high growth! Lots of great challenges to solve and high pressure from not having them currently solved.
With high growth businesses, engineers or administrators are not under threat of being “automated out of their job”. If you identify as one of these people, you have an opportunity to learn new skills, be rewarded for finishing projects Continue reading

Getting Started: Using the Virtual Environment
Welcome to another Getting Started blog post! Previously, we did a four-part series on Ansible and Windows automation.
In this post, we are going to talk about how you can modify and use the Python virtual environment that is built when Red Hat Ansible Tower is installed. Before we get started, if you would like a dive deeper into the virtual environment you can find our documentation on it here .Is This a Virtual Reality Test?
No, it is not. But one can dream, right? Before we get into this, let’s talk about what is created when you install Ansible Tower in regards to virtual environments.
Ansible Tower 3.0 and later uses virtualenv. Virtualenv creates isolated Python environments to avoid problems caused by conflicting dependencies and differing versions.
Ansible Tower creates two virtualenvs during installation–one is used to run Ansible Tower, while the other is used to run Ansible. This allows Ansible Tower to run in a stable environment and allows you to make changes to your Ansible environment.
The next topic we are going to talk about is modifying the Ansible virtualenv. But first, a warning to the adventurous. Modifying the virtualenv used by Ansible Tower is unsupported Continue reading

NIC.BR and the Internet Society Work Together to Increase Routing Security in Brazil
This week on Tuesday, 26 June, the Internet Society and NIC.BR signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together to increase routing security in Brazil, including the MANRS initiative. Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security is a global initiative that provides crucial fixes to reduce the most common routing threats.
We are excited to strengthen our efforts to work together with NIC.br, and in fact this MoU only formalizes an existing long-term relationship between the two organizations. Our goal is to help increase the number of Brazilian Internet Service Providers and Internet Exchange Points joining efforts for a more secure and resilient Internet.
Not a single day goes by without dozens of incidents affecting the Internet’s routing system. Route hijacking, route leaks, IP address spoofing, and other harmful activities can lead to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, traffic inspection and surveillance, lost revenue, reputational damage, and more. As one of the biggest countries with high access rates, Brazil is also facing these incidents on a daily basis.
NIC.BR is responsible for the coordination and integration of all Internet service initiatives in Brazil, including long-standing activities related to Internet security. They are also responsible for many projects that Continue reading
At IETF 102: The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace – Cyber diplomacy meets InfoSec and Technology
On Tuesday, 17 July, during IETF 102 in Montreal, the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC) will host a lunch panel on “Cyber Diplomacy Meets InfoSec and Technology.” During this session, the Commission wants to inform and engage with the IETF community on its work so far and the work that is in the pipeline.
The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace is developing norms and policy initiatives that intend to counter the risk to the overall security and stability of cyberspace due to rise of offensive cyber-activities, and especially those by states.
Session Abstract
In this global environment we see conflict between states takes new forms, and cyber-activities are playing a leading role. There is an increasing risk of undermining the peaceful use of cyberspace and a growing for need norms and policies to enhance international security and stability.
The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, with commissioners from diverse backgrounds, sets out to develop proposals for norms and policies to enhance international security and stability and guide responsible state and non-state behavior in cyberspace.
During this lunch panel we want to engage with the IETF community to discuss the norms the commission Continue reading
Fetching Pcap Files and running Wireshark – Junos Pyez
As a part of some content development and revision on MPLS, I was trying to capture some MPLS Pcap Files from the Vmx Router. The problem was that every time I capture a file, I had to first scp or sftp into the device and then after successful import, I had to run Wireshark on it.
The Aim of the post is to fetch the pcap file and run Wireshark on it. Am not a decent programmer by any stretch of the imagination, anyone can see that from my code 
but the point that matters is that it works and you should give it a try too.
https://github.com/yukthr/auts/blob/master/junos_pyez/getfile_executewireshark.py– Is the file
When I run this program to fetch a non-existent Pcap file
And when I query for an existent file
