Alex Kim: Why I joined Cloudflare

This post is also available in 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文 and 日本語.

I am excited to announce that as of November 1, I have joined Cloudflare as Country Manager of South Korea to help build a better Internet and to expand Cloudflare’s growing customer, partner, and local teams in Korea. We just opened a new entity (after making Seoul our 23rd data center, more than 10 years ago)  and I am the first official employee of Cloudflare Korea LLC in Seoul, which is truly a great moment and privilege for me.

A little about me

I was born in Korea and was educated in Korea until middle school, then I decided to move to Toronto, Canada to study film making to become a movie director. I finished high school and obtained a university degree in Toronto, during which I had the opportunity to be exposed to various cultures, as well as learn and become well-versed in the English language. I think it was a great time to learn how diverse people in the world are. My dream of becoming a movie director has changed over time for many reasons, but I think it is no coincidence that I Continue reading

Day Two Cloud 175: Deploying Kubernetes And Managing Clusters

On today's Day Two Cloud we continue our Kubernetes conversation with guest Michael Levan. Today's show focuses on Kubernetes deployments and managing clusters once they're up and running. We discuss whether Kubernetes is really more complex than traditional application infrastructure; examine management options such as GitOps, manifests, and Kubectl; share useful tools, and talk about why Kubernetes is all about APIs.

Why Would You Need an Overlay Network?

I got this question from one of ipSpace.net subscribers:

My VP is not a fan of overlays and is determined to move away from our legacy implementation of OTV, VXLAN, and EVPN¹. We own and manage our optical network across all sites; however, it’s hard for me to picture a network design without overlays. He keeps asking why we need overlays when we own the optical network.

There are several reasons (apart from RFC 1925 Rule 6a) why you might want to add another layer of abstraction (that’s what overlay networks are in a nutshell) to your network.

Network Automation with CUE – Working with YANG-based APIs

In the previous post, I mentioned that CUE can help you work with both “industry-standard” semi-structured APIs and fully structured APIs where data is modelled using OpenAPI or JSON schema. However, there was an elephant in the room that I conveniently ignored but without which no conversation about network automation would be complete. With this post, I plan to rectify my previous omission and explain how you can use CUE to work with YANG-based APIs. More specifically, I’ll focus on OpenConfig and gNMI and show how CUE can be used to write YANG-based configuration data, validate it and send it to a remote device.

Automating YANG-based APIs with CUE

Working with YANG-based APIs is not much different from what I’ve described in the two previous blog posts [1] and [2]. We’re still dealing with structured data that gets assembled based on the rules defined in a set of YANG models and sent over the wire using one of the supported protocols (Netconf, Restconf or gNMI). One of the biggest differences, though, is that data generation gets done in one of the general-purpose programming languages (e.g. Python, Go), since doing it in Ansible is not feasible due to the Continue reading

Gartner: What to do to make data centers more sustainable

Just a few weeks ago Gartner analysts said that sustainability and issues around it  would transcend all of the strategic technology trends for 2023.This week at its IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference Gartner described how corporate data centers might make sustainability a practical reality.“IT leaders must avoid wasting value through the premature replacement of IT infrastructure,” said Philip Dawson, vice president and analyst at Gartner, at the conference. “They can do that by using real-time health analytics to maximize the useful life of data-center assets.”To read this article in full, please click here

Ransomware attack knocks Rackspace’s Exchange servers offline

Cloud services and hosting provider Rackspace Technology acknowledged Tuesday that a recent incident that took most of its Hosted Exchange email server business offline was the product of a ransomware attack. The company shut the service down last Friday.It was not, initially, clear what had caused the outage, but Rackspace quickly moved to shift Exchange customers over to Microsoft 365, as this part of the company’s infrastructure was apparently unaffected.Rackpsace offers migration to Microsoft 365 Rackspace said today that there is “no timeline” for a restoration of Exchange service, but it is offering Exchange users technical assistance and free access to Microsoft 365 as a substitute, though it acknowledged that migration is unlikely to be a simple process for every user. Rackspace said that, while the migration is in progress, customers can forward email sent to their Hosted Exchange inboxes to an external server, as a temporary workaround.To read this article in full, please click here
