Day Two Cloud 088: The Tech Recruiter – Friend Or Foe?
Our guest is Taylor Desseyn, Sr. Recruiter Advocate at Vaco. Taylor knows tech recruiting forwards and backwards. He gives us an insider's view of how recruiters look at you and how you should look at them to maximize the benefit of the relationship. Because it IS a relationship. And like any relationship, you need to work at it.

What’s New in the Ansible Content Collection for Kubernetes – 1.2
Businesses continue to have a high demand for automation. This is not limited to infrastructure components, but stretches across the entire IT, including the platforms supporting application deployments. Here often Kubernetes is the way to go - and why in November we released the first Certified Content Collection for deploying and managing Kubernetes applications and services. Since then, the development and work in this area has only increased. That is why we recently released kubernetes.core 1.2.
In this blog post, we’ll go over what’s new and what’s changed in this release of our Kubernetes Collection.
New Modules
We continue to build on our existing support for Helm 3, the Kubernetes package manager: we added the new helm_template module, which opens up access to Helm’s template command.
Scenario: Examine a chart's content for further processing
There are times when you may need to take an existing chart and do something with its content. For example, there might be existing objects that you would like to bring under Helm's control and you need to compare what's deployed with what's in the chart. The newly added helm_template module gives you access to the rendered YAML of a chart. Continue reading

Internet Society Joins Leading Internet Advocates to Call on ISPs to Commit to Basic User Privacy Protections
By Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mozilla, and The Internet Society
As people learn more about how companies like Google and Facebook track them online, they are taking steps to protect themselves. But there is one relatively unknown way that companies and bad actors can collect troves of data.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T are your gateway to the Internet. These companies have complete, unfettered, and unregulated access to a constant stream of your browsing history that can build a profile that they can sell or otherwise use without your consent.
Last year, Comcast committed to a broad range of DNS privacy standards. Companies like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, which have a major market share of mobile broadband customers in the U.S., haven’t committed to the same basic protections, such as not tracking website traffic, deleting DNS logs, or refusing to sell users’ information. What’s more, these companies have a history of abusing customer data. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile, sold customer location data to bounty hunters, and Verizon injected trackers bypassing user control.
Every single ISP should have a responsibility to protect the privacy of its users – and as mobile internet access continues Continue reading

Azure Route Server: The Challenge
Imagine you decided to deploy an SD-WAN (or DMVPN) network and make an Azure region one of the sites in the new network because you already deployed some workloads in that region and would like to replace the VPN connectivity you’re using today with the new shiny expensive gadget.
Everyone told you to deploy two SD-WAN instances in the public cloud virtual network to be redundant, so this is what you deploy:

What ‘Star Trek’ Teaches Us About AI and IT
AIOps holds the promise to help with mundane, time-consuming tasks, and more, thus allowing IT pros to find new and meaningful ways to do their jobs.Notes from the DNS Privacy Workshop at NDSS 2021
There are many issues that lurk just below the surface of the DNS, but in recent years one topic has been very prominent, namely privacy. You see the DNS is a precursor to almost everything we do on the Internet. And this is valuable information.Livermore Converges A Slew Of New Ideas For Exascale Storage

Desktop Support for iTerm2 – A Feature Request from the Docker Public Roadmap
The latest Docker Desktop release, 3.2, includes support for iTerm2 which is a terminal emulator that is highly popular with macOS fans. From the Containers/Apps Dashboard, for a running container, you can click `CLI` to open a terminal and run commands on the container. With this latest release of Docker Desktop, if you have installed iTerm2 on your Mac, the CLI option opens an iTerm2 terminal. Otherwise, it opens the Terminal app on Mac or a Command Prompt on Windows.
Of note, this feature request to support additional terminals started from the Docker public roadmap. Daniel Rodriguez, one of our community members, submitted the request to the public roadmap. 180 people upvoted that request and we added it and prioritized it on our public roadmap.
The public roadmap is our source of truth for community feedback on prioritizing product updates and feature enhancements. Not everything submitted to the public roadmap will end up as a delivered feature, but the support for M1 chipsets, image vulnerability scanning and audit logging – all delivered within the last year – all started as issues submitted via the roadmap.
This is the easiest way for you to let us know Continue reading
You Can Always Add Another Layer of Indirection (RFC1925, Rule 6a)
Many within the network engineering community have heard of the OSI seven-layer model, and some may have heard of the Recursive Internet Architecture (RINA) model. The truth is, however, that while protocol designers may talk about these things and network designers study them, very few networks today are built using any of these models. What is often used instead is what might be called the Infinitely Layered Functional Indirection (ILFI) model of network engineering. In this model, nothing is solved at a particular layer of the network if it can be moved to another layer, whether successfully or not.
For instance, Ethernet is the physical and data link layer of choice over almost all types of physical medium, including optical and copper. No new type of physical transport layer (other than wireless) can succeed unless if can be described as “Ethernet” in some regard or another, much like almost no new networking software can success unless it has a Command Line Interface (CLI) similar to the one a particular vendor developed some twenty years ago. It’s not that these things are necessarily better, but they are well-known.
Ethernet, however, goes far beyond providing physical layer connectivity. Because many applications rely Continue reading
