The automated deployment capabilities are compatible with current standards and reference ongoing ETSI work on defining objectives for automated, intelligent management in NFV- and SDN-centric networks.
Mark Zuckerburg’s testimony before the US Congress today and the flood of news about the privacy breach at Facebook and revelations that the company mishandled the data of millions of people has me asking:
Is this really what we signed up for?
It is clear that we are not in control of our online information nor do we really have any idea how it is bought, sold, or used.
For some of us, signing up for a social network like Facebook was about staying in touch with our kids and friends. For others, it was an easy way to reach new customers, or gather a community behind a social project. Yes, many of us figured out that our information was being used to serve up ‘relevant’ ads: as a matter of fact, that seems pretty standard in today’s online world. But that’s only a small part of a much bigger picture.
In the past few weeks we have found out – yet again – that information about ourselves, and our friends and contacts was used far beyond what we intended. We have been profiled, pigeon-holed, politically manipulated, and played like pawns in someone else’s chess game. I’d challenge you to Continue reading
Today the Datanauts explore three key concepts to make cloud management and operations more bearable: automation, understanding new services and capabilities, and security.
Our guest is Kenneth Hui, Technical Marketing Engineer at Rubrik. Ken blogs at Cloud Architect Musings. While our conversation focuses primarily on AWS, many of the principles discussed will apply to any cloud platform.
In part one we parse automation, infrastructure-as-code, and DevOps to understand how these concepts are related, how they differ, and why culture and human behavior matter more than labels.
Part two explores the latest offerings in AWS including serverless, container support, and machine learning.
Part three tackles cloud security essentials including encryption, not exposing S3 buckets, and best practices.

The post History Of Networking – Dino Farinacci – History of LISP appeared first on Network Collective.
Nvidia caused a shift in high-end computing more than a decade ago when it introduced its general-purpose GPUs and CUDA development platform to work with CPUs to increase the performance of compute-intensive workloads in HPC and other environments and drive greater energy efficiencies in datacenters.
Nvidia and to a lesser extent AMD, with its Radeon GPUs, took advantage of the growing demand for more speed and less power consumption to build out their portfolios of GPU accelerators and expand their use in a range of systems, to the point where in the last Top500 list of the world’s fastest …

It may be tempting to take drastic measures to protect the network, but the results can be a bit problematic.
EMA research found that enterprises use network analytics technology to automate a variety of networking tasks for increased uptime and other benefits.
Remember the IPv6 elephant in the room – the inability to do small-site multihoming without NAT (well, NPT66)? IPv6 is old enough to buy its own beer, but the elephant is still hogging the room. Tons of ideas have been thrown around in IETF (mostly based on source address selection tricks), but none of that spaghetti stuck to the wall.
Read more ...In our last post, we removed our last piece of static configuration and replaced static routes with BGP. We’re going to pick up right where we left off and discuss another use case for MPLS – MPLS VPNs. Really – we’re talking about two different things here. The first is BGP VPNv4 address families used for route advertisement. The second is using MPLS as a data plane to reach the prefixes being announced by VPNv4 address family. If that doesn’t make sense yet – don’t worry – it will be pretty clear by the end of the post. So as usual – let’s jump right into this and talk about our lab setup.
As I mentioned in the last post, setting up BGP was a prerequisite to this post – so since that’s the case – Im going to pick up right where I left off. So I’ll post the lab topology picture here for the sake of posting a lab topology – but if you want to get your configuration prepped – take a look at the last post. At the end of the last post we had our Continue reading
Special thanks to Kylie Liang from the Microsoft Azure DevEx team for giving us a closer look at one of the new Azure module features.
---
For this blog entry, we wanted to share a step by step guide to using the Azure Container Instance module that has been included in Ansible 2.5.
The Container Instance service is a PaaS offering on Azure that is designed to let users run containers without managing any of the underlying infrastructure. The Ansible Azure Container Instance module allows users to create, update and delete an Azure Container Instance.
For the purposes of this blog, we’ll assume that you are new to Azure and Ansible and want to automate the Container Instance service. This tutorial will guide you through automating the following steps:
