AnsibleFest 2022 Quick Take: expanding to AWS, Event-Driven Automation and Project Wisdom
AnsibleFest 2022 was our first in-person event in a few years, and it delivered some exciting news that will impact the growth and expansion of automation for our customers in the months to come. We had more than 450 organizations represented in person in Chicago. Our keynotes featured Red Hat, IBM Research, and Rockwell Automation. During the two days, we announced several new features and capabilities to make adopting automation more accessible. In addition, IDC analyst Jevin Jensen recently published his opinions and insights on AnsibleFest 2022 that we break down below .
What did we announce?
Each day of the event featured keynotes, one on the Current State of Automation and one on The Future of Automation. There was a lot of excitement over the many announcements, including:

Introducing Waiting Room Bypass Rules
Leveraging the power and versatility of Cloudflare's Ruleset Engine, Waiting Room now offers customers more fine-tuned control over their waiting room traffic. Queue only the traffic you want to with Waiting Room Bypass Rules, now available to all Enterprise customers with an Advanced Purchase of Waiting Room.
Customers depend on Waiting Room for always-on protection from unexpected and overwhelming traffic surges that would otherwise bring their site down. Waiting Room places excess users in a fully customizable virtual waiting room, admitting new visitors dynamically as spots become available on a customer’s site. Instead of throwing error pages or delivering poorly-performing site pages, Waiting Room empowers customers to take control of their end-user experience during unmanageable traffic surges.
Additionally, customers use Waiting Room Event Scheduling to manage user flow and ensure reliable site performance before, during, and after online events such as product restocks, seasonal sales, and ticket sales. With Event Scheduling, customers schedule changes to their waiting rooms' settings and custom queuing page ahead of time, with options to pre-queue early arrivers and offload event traffic from their origins after the event has concluded.

Relationships between Layer-2 (VLAN) and Layer-3 (Subnet) Segments
Sometimes it takes me years to answer interesting questions, like the one I got in a tweet in 2021:
Do you have a good article describing the one-to-one relation of layer-2 and layer-3 networks? Why should every VLAN contain one single L3 segment?
There is no mandatory relationship between multi-access layer-2 networks and layer-3 segments, and secondary IP addresses (and subnets) were available in Cisco IOS in early 1990s. The rules-of-thumb1 claiming there should be a 1:1 relationship usually derive from the oft-forgotten underlying requirements. Let’s start with those.

Day Two Cloud 178: Implementing Zero Standing Privilege (Sponsored)
On today's sponsored Day Two Cloud podcast we talk about zero standing privilege with strongDM. Zero standing privilege goes beyond just-in-time credentials to a model where no credentials pre-exist, but are created in real-time and paired with appropriate permissions built from policy, also created in real-time. Can such a thing be accomplished technically---and without irritating all your end users? StrongDM's Sebastian Mankowski is here to make the case.Day Two Cloud 178: Implementing Zero Standing Privilege (Sponsored)
