30 Days Left to Buy ipSpace.net Subscription
When I announced the lifetime ipSpace.net subscription in early September, I also mentioned that you won’t be able to purchase any ipSpace.net subscription after December 31st, 2023.
As of today, you have 30 days left to decide, and don’t wait till the last minute – I plan to turn off the purchasing process sometime during the business hours of December 31st as I hope to have more interesting things to do in the evening.

The BGP Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) Saga
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 ;)

Unified SASE Maximizes the Potential of Observability
Unified SASE can amplify an organization’s observability capabilities, facilitating proactive threat detection, precise analysis, and better decision-making.Tigera has achieved AWS Security Competency status!
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.

BGP Labs: Set BGP Communities on Outgoing Updates
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.
