Today's Heavy Networking podcast focuses on a real-world SD-WAN deployment with OneOncology. The organization deployed an SD-WAN solution from Silver Peak, our sponsor for today's podcast, to securely segment and prioritize electronic medical records over other WAN traffic, get better service quality for critical voice and video applications, and ensure the WAN was highly available. Our guests are Robert Holloway, Infrastructure Manager at OneOncology; and Damon Ennis, SVP of Products at Silver Peak.

Of all the sessions from DockerCon LIVE 2020, the Best Practices + How To’s track sessions received the most live views and on-demand views. Not only were these sessions highly viewed, they were also highly rated. We thought this would be the case based on the fact that many developers are learning Docker for this first time as application containerization is experiencing broad adoption within IT shops. In the recently released 2020 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Docker ranked as the #1 most wanted platform. The data is clear…developers love Docker!
This post begins our series of blog articles focusing on the key developer content that we are curating from DockerCon. What better place to start than with the fundamentals. Developers are looking for the best content by the top experts to get started with Docker. These are the top sessions from the Best Practices + How To’s track.
How to Get Started with Docker
Peter McKee – Docker
Peter’s session was the top session based on views across all of the tracks. He does an excellent job focusing on the fundamentals of containers and how to go from code to cloud. This session covers getting Docker installed, writing Continue reading

HPE Further Blurs The Storage Line Between On Premises And The Cloud was written by Jeffrey Burt at The Next Platform.
One of the things I picked up during the quarantine is a new-found interest in cooking. I’ve been spending more time researching recipes and trying to understand how my previous efforts to be a four-star chef have fallen flat. Thankfully, practice does indeed make perfect. I’m slowly getting better , which is to say that my family will actually eat my cooking now instead of just deciding that pizza for the fourth night in a row is a good choice.
One of the things I learned as I went on was about salt. Sodium Chloride is a magical substance. Someone once told me that if you taste a dish and you know it needs something but you’re not quite sure what that something is, the answer is probably salt. It does a lot to tie flavors together. But it’s also a fickle substance. It has the power to make or break a dish in very small amounts. It can be the difference between perfection and disaster. As it turns out, it’s a lot like security too.
Security and salt are alike in the first way because you need the right amount to make things work. Continue reading
Moving its eponymous NoSQL document database to the cloud and running it as a managed service has been a watershed event for MongoDB, which like a number of its peers in the broader database market are growing at the expense of relational databases that can’t scale as well for certain workloads. …

Linux is becoming more and more prominent in the networking industry. Many of us come from a mixed background and have varying levels of knowledge of Linux. I’ve been around Linux for a long time but really never got beyond the very most basic stuff. Looking back, I wish I had spent some more time learning Sed, Awk, regex, and Bash etc. I was doing some labs over at NRE Labs (great labs), and wanted to highlight some of the things I learned.
Sometimes you want to append something quickly to a file or send several lines of text to a Linux command. That can be done using “here documents“.
First, look at this small configuration:
daniel@devasc:~/DevAsc$ cat config.txt interface GigabitEthernet0/1 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/2 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/3 switchport mode access switchport access vlan 10 !
Now we want to append another interface to the end of this file. We can do that using cat:
daniel@devasc:~/DevAsc$ cat <<EOT >> config.txt > interface GigabitEthernet0/4 > switchport mode access > switchport access vlan 10 > ! > EOT
After the cat command, Continue reading

At the end of last year, we introduced Standalone Health Checks - a service that lets you monitor the health of your origin servers and avoid the need to purchase additional third party services. The more that can be controlled from Cloudflare decreases maintenance cost, vendor management, and infrastructure complexity. This is important as it ensures you are able to scale your infrastructure seamlessly as your company grows. Today, we are introducing Standalone Health Check Analytics to help decrease your time to resolution for any potential issues. You can find Health Check Analytics in the sub-menu under the Traffic tab in your Cloudflare Dashboard.
As a refresher, Standalone Health Checks is a service that monitors an IP address or hostname for your origin servers or application and notifies you in near real-time if there happens to be a problem. These Health Checks support fine-tuned configurations based on expected codes, interval, protocols, timeout and more. These configurations enable you to properly target your checks based on the unique setup of your infrastructure. An example of a Health Check can be seen below which is monitoring an origin server in a staging environment with a notification set via email.
Once you set Continue reading

In early May 2020 I wrote a blog post introducing SuzieQ, a network observability platform Dinesh Dutt worked on for the last few years. If that blog post made you look for more details, you might like the Episode 111 of Software Gone Wild in which we went deeper and covered these topics:
What is Lateral Movement?
Lateral movement refers to the techniques that a cyber-attacker uses, after gaining initial access, to move deeper into a network in search of sensitive data and other high-value assets. Lateral movement techniques are widely used in sophisticated cyber-attacks such as advanced persistent threats (APTs). An adversary uses these techniques to access other hosts from a compromised system and get access to sensitive resources, such as mail systems, shared folders, and legitimate credentials, ultimately gaining access to the identified target. Lateral movement techniques enable a threat actor to avoid detection and retain access over an extended dwell time of weeks, or even months, after the initial breach.
What are the Stages of Lateral Movement?
There are three primary stages of lateral movement: reconnaissance, credential/privilege gathering, and gaining access to other resources in the network.
How Does an Adversary Gain Unauthorized Access to a Kubernetes Cluster?
In a Kubernetes cluster, an attacker will gain initial access by compromising a pod. Once the pod is compromised, there are three main areas where the attacker can begin reconnaissance and move through the lateral movement stages to learn more about the cluster: the cloud provider metadata service, the pod networking and Continue reading
