Modern IBGP Design with AddPath and ORR
Nicola Modena created an interesting presentation describing IBGP designs using BGP Additional Paths and Optimal Route Reflection functionality
Hope you’ll enjoy the presentation as much as I did… and make sure you understand potential circular dependencies you might be introducing when running a route reflector as a virtual machine.

The state of cloud-native security 2022 – Tigera’s new market report
We are excited to announce the publication of our first State of Cloud-Native Security market report! The report compiles survey results from more than 300 security and IT professionals worldwide (all of whom have direct container responsibilities), and explores organizations’ needs and challenges when it comes to containers and cloud-native applications, specifically in the areas of security, observability, and compliance.
Report highlights
Our survey results showcase the rise in cloud-native development, while identifying barriers and areas where organizations need support on their cloud-native journey. Some of the report’s key findings include:
- Cloud-native applications gain momentum but present security, compliance, and observability issues.
- While our survey found that 75% of companies are focusing development on cloud-native applications, the increased development (and deployment) also creates the need for more advanced observability and security capabilities.
- Containers require security solutions for runtime, access, and networking.
- 98% of organizations need container security, with runtime security topping the list.
- Cloud-native and container compliance requirements are driving delays and challenges.
- 95% of organizations report they have compliance requirements for cloud-native applications, with 84% stating that meeting these compliance requirements is challenging.
Why read the report?
The report gives organizations a chance to benchmark themselves against the findings, Continue reading
Playing The Long Game With The Hyperscalers And Clouds
To build a very large IT business often takes a channel approach, where manufacturers sell a certain amount of their own product – say to the key 10 percent or 20 percent of their accounts – and then offload the rest of the sales job to a third party. …

Automating Applications and Servers at the Edge with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
In my previous blog, Why 2022 will be the year for edge automation, we discussed the objective of edge solutions to bring resources closer to the end user or data source.
As edge expands its IT footprint and becomes an extension of the data center, bare-metal, virtual environments, private cloud and public cloud start to coexist as part of the infrastructure.
While our customers move forward with their own automation journey, they are adding edge computing to the puzzle, with common automation challenges such as:
How to automate disparate architectures at scale?
How do we reduce the operational burden, if the IT teams do not grow exponentially?
What is needed to foster a collaborative automation practice?
As part of this blog we will go through a hybrid edge computing automation scenario. But let's start with the fundamental question: Why is hybrid cloud critical for edge computing?
Hybrid cloud to solve edge computing challenges
At the edge, geography matters.
The fundamental need is to allocate resources closer to where the data is generated to pre-process the information before forwarding it to the data centers. The reason for this architectural change is to increase Continue reading
BGP Policy (Part 6)
At the most basic level, there are only three BGP policies: pushing traffic through a specific exit point; pulling traffic through a specific entry point; preventing a remote AS (more than one AS hop away) from transiting your AS to reach a specific destination. In this series I’m going to discuss different reasons for these kinds of policies, and different ways to implement them in interdomain BGP.
In this post I’m going to cover local preference via communities, longer prefix match, and conditional advertisement from the perspective of AS65001 in the following network—
Communities an Local Preference
As noted above, MED is the tool “designed into” BGP for selecting an entrance point into the local AS for specific reachable destinations. MED is not very effective, however, because a route’s preference will always win over MED, and because it is not carried between autonomous systems.
Some operators provide an alternate for MED in the form of communities that set a route’s preference within the AS. For instance, assume 100::/64 is geographically closer to the [65001,65003] link than either of the [65001,65002] links, so AS65001 would prefer traffic destined to 100::/64 enter through AS65003.
In this case, AS65001 can advertise 100::/64 with Continue reading
