OpenStack Summit Vancouver recap: What we did and what’s next

A few weeks ago, I set out to the beautiful city of Vancouver’s convention center, along with a boatload of rocket turtles and a stellar team. It was a great time with a wonderful scenic view of the ocean. I’ve been at Cumulus a few months now, but I can’t help but enjoy looking around, seeing the friends I’ve made in the industry, and the friends and companies Cumulus has worked with over the years. It is exciting to have thousands of people coming together at OpenStack Summit Vancouver to work on a shared goal.

OpenStack Summit Vancouver

This year, we were lucky enough to have our very own Pete Lumbis take the stage with David Iles of Mellanox to present our joint solution around the latest SDN revolution, which is centered on creating efficient virtualized data center networks using VXLAN & EVPN.

In the next few paragraphs, I’ll share some highlights of the event, some photos, and a recap of that exact discussion. There was a lot to learn and discover, and I’m excited to share the details.

Day 1: Don’t you just love working with collaborative open source projects?

On our first day, lots of things were going on — we Continue reading

IDG Contributor Network: Skimping on business data protection could be a costly mistake

Data is essential to the smooth operation of any organization. Whether it’s data on your products, customers, or competition, you need it to do business. Your software and systems are dependent on the data that’s fed into them.Big data may be gathered by IoT sensors in vehicles and buildings, smartphones, and from countless other data points to inform big decisions. But at a granular level you also need small pieces of data to function. Without credentials you can’t gain access to the big data, contact suppliers, or even tweak the air conditioning system.Our dependence on data is profound, you might say it’s your business DNA because it’s crucial for survival and growth.To read this article in full, please click here

Delivering a Serverless API in 10 minutes using Workers

Delivering a Serverless API in 10 minutes using Workers

In preparation for Chrome’s Not Secure flag, which will update the indicator to show Not Secure when a site is not accessed over https, we wanted people to be able to test whether their site would pass. If you read our previous blog post about the existing misconceptions around using https, and preparing your site, you may have noticed a small fiddle, allowing you to test which sites will be deemed “Secure”. In preparation for the blog post itself, one of our PMs approached me asking for help making this fiddle come to life. It was a simple ask: we need an endpoint which runs logic to see if a given domain will automatically redirect to https.

The logic and requirements turned out to be very simple:
Make a serverless API endpoint
Input: domain (e.g. example.com)
Output: “secure” / “not secure”

Logic:

if http://example.com redirects to https://example.com
	Return “secure”
Else
	Return “not secure”

One additional requirement here was that we needed to follow redirects all the way; sites often redirect to http://www.example.com first, and only then redirect to https. That is an additional line of code I was prepared to handle.

Nexthink’s digital experience management platform quickly solves performance problems

Any organization that has even a modest level of IT infrastructure does IT service monitoring (ITSM) to ensure that everything is operating within performance mandates codified in service level agreements (SLAs). If the IT organization is meeting its SLAs, it’s assumed that the experience the employee has interacting with this infrastructure is good. But that isn’t always the case, and the IT group might not even be aware.For instance, an enterprise application might be working just fine for most users, but for one or a few users in particular, it could be especially slow. Unless those people call the help desk to complain, who would ever know that they are suffering? Sometimes people just accept that some aspect of IT functions poorly, and they carry on the best they can, even if it affects their productivity.To read this article in full, please click here

NSX Cloud Blog Series Part 2: A Consistent Security Posture Across Your Hybrid Cloud

We now dig deeper into the cloud security use-case.  As more and more companies embrace cloud, the cloud IT teams are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that these cloud deployments are secure. Cloud inherently brings in new environments, and these cloud security teams are now faced with ensuring Enterprise security policy consistency across these multiple disparate cloud environments.

 

VMware NSX Cloud addresses these challenges, offering a common security and micro-segmentation platform across the on-premises and cloud environment. Together with NSX Data Center, it provides a single pane of glass to provision and manages consistent security controls not only for cross-cloud communication but also within each cloud.

 

Let’s start with VISIBILITY. You can’t protect what you can’t see. As a cloud infrastructure/security team, you may have to manage 1 AWS cloud account (subscription in Azure) and 1 AWS VPC (VNET in Azure) … or you may be managing 500+ accounts/subscriptions, each having multiple VPCs / VNETs. As cloud deployments bring automation and higher levels of agility, the cloud footprint that you would be responsible for can quickly become large and constantly evolve. How do you ensure that this dynamic environment is secure?

 

Focused on this specific Continue reading
