Heavy Strategy 002 – Is Microsoft VMware’s Biggest Threat ?
A topic that’s been popular from my blog is Microsoft is VMware’s biggest threat. The core of the conversation around it seems be about the stack. Does it make sense to outsource private and public cloud engineering to a provider such as Microsoft. An adjacent conversation is does VMware matter when you zoom out of... Read more »
Machine Learning for Future System Designs
As an engineering director leading research projects into the application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) to computational software for electronic design automation (EDA), I believe I have a unique perspective on the future of the electronic and electronic design industries. …

Introducing Bot Analytics
Bots — both good and bad — are everywhere on the Internet. Roughly 40% of Internet traffic is automated. Fortunately, Cloudflare offers a tool that can detect and block unwanted bots: we call it Bot Management. This is the most recent platform in our long history of detecting bots for our customers. In fact, Cloudflare has always offered some form of bot detection. Over the past two years, our team has focused on building advanced detection engines, innovating as bots become more sophisticated, and creating new features.
Today, we are releasing Bot Analytics to help you visualize your automated traffic.
Background
It’s worth including some background for those who are new to bots.
Many websites expect human behavior. When I shop online, I behave as anyone else would: I might search for a few items, read reviews when I find something interesting, and eventually complete an order. This is expected. It is a standard use of the Internet.
Unfortunately, without protection these sites can be ripe for exploitation. Those shoes I was looking at? They are limited edition sneakers that resell for five times the price. Sneaker hoarders clamor at the chance to buy a pair (or fifty). Or perhaps Continue reading
Don’t Lift-and-Shift Your Enterprise Spaghetti into a Public Cloud
Jon Kadis spent most of his life working on enterprise networks, and sadly found out that even changing jobs and moving into a public cloud environment can’t save you from people trying to lift-and-shift enterprise IT kludges into a greenfield environment.

How to troubleshoot routing protocols session flaps – part 1
Instability of routing protocol sessions – or, in the network engineers’ slang, flaps, is by far the most common and the most basic routing problem that ever occurs.
Shortly after beginning to write this post, I realized it will …
Transforming the Network for Greater Agility and Security
SD-WAN while compelling is only part of the solution. Organizations need to astutely manage complementary components to build a network fit for the future.The Hedge Podcast #58: Michael Kehoe and eBPF
Most packet processing in Linux “wants” to be in the kernel. The problem is that adding code to the kernel is a painstaking process because a single line of bad code can cause havoc for millions of Linux hosts. How, then, can new functionality be pushed into the kernel, particularly for packet processing, with reduced risk? Enter eBPF, which allows functions to be inserted into the kernel through a sort of “lightweight container.”
Michael Kehoe joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to discuss eBPF technology and its importance.
