Today's IPv6 Buzz podcast examines key topics network engineers should know when working with v6, including the complexities of auto-addressing, network security and dual-stack environments, address plans, and more. Our guest is engineer and consultant Andres Taudte.

Cisco got SASE; Nutanix Q3 revenue jumped 11%; and Docker cozied up to Microsoft Azure.
I’ve been getting into the twitter poll thing lately and its producing some interesting polling by asking questions. Yesterday I asked are you eager to go back to the office ? With 129 responses we have statistical significance because the sample is large. What conclusions might we draw from this survey ? Reminder: Twitter […]

DockerCon LIVE 2020 is about to kick off and there are over 64,000 community members, users and customers registered! Although we miss getting together in person, we’re excited to be able to bring even more people together to learn and share how Docker helps dev teams build great apps. Like DockerCon’s past there is so much great content on the agenda for you to learn and expand your expertise around containers and applications.
We’ve been very busy here at Docker and a couple of months ago, we outlined our refocused developer-focused strategy. Since then, we’ve made great progress on executing against it and remain focused on bringing simplicity to app building experience, embracing the ecosystem and helping developers and developer teams bring code to cloud faster and easier than ever before. A few examples:
Securing workloads across an entire environment is the fundamental goal of a policy. But workloads come in a variety of form factors: virtual machines, containers, and bare metal servers. In order to protect every workload, experts recommend isolating workloads wherever possible — avoiding dependency on the host operating system and its firewall. Relying on the host firewall creates the dependency of a host to defend itself.
Securing virtual workloads is a task best handled by the hypervisor. Offering security via inspection of traffic on the virtual network interfaces of the virtual workload achieves the security you want. It also delivers isolation for security enforcement. Workloads to secure bare metal servers come in many form factors and a variety of means to achieve policy enforcement.
Bare metal servers remain in use for a variety of reasons. Securing these servers remains a necessary task in today’s virtualized data center. Reasons we still use bare metal servers:
If your household is anything like mine, your Internet connection has experienced a significant increase in usage over these last several months. We’re streaming more and more media each day, and we’re on seemingly endless hours of videoconferences for work and for school. While all of that streaming media consumes downstream capacity, those videoconferences can generate a significant amount of upstream traffic. I’m fortunate enough to have fiber-based broadband connectivity that can easily handle this traffic, but I know others aren’t as lucky. They’re stuck with copper-based connections or satellite links that struggle to deliver streaming media or video calls with any sort of viewable quality.
Across this spectrum of “last mile” Internet connections, I looked at the impact from both a provider and user perspective. What kind of traffic growth have last mile network providers experienced? What steps have these providers taken to ensure they have sufficient capacity? And most importantly for end users, how has increased traffic impacted last mile connection speeds?
The network connections from customer- and subscriber-facing Internet service providers are often referred to as last mile networks. These are Internet services delivered over a notional distance – the “last mile” – to subscriber premises, such Continue reading
For any network that provides routing services to customers it is important to segregate them in different virtual topologies that don’t interfere with each other.

It’s amazing how sometimes people fond of sharing their opinions and buzzwords on various social media can’t answer simple questions. Today’s blog post is based on a true story… a “senior network architect” fully engaged in a recent hype cycle couldn’t answer a simple question:
Why exactly would you need VXLAN and EVPN?
We could spend a day (or a week) discussing the nuances of that simple question, but all I have at the moment is a single web page, so here we go…
As the name of this publication suggests, we are system thinkers and we like to watch the evolution of a collection of tools into a platform. …
The GPU Database Evolves Into An Analytics Platform was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
New applications and workloads are constantly being added to Kubernetes clusters. Those same apps need to securely communicate with resources outside the cluster behind a firewall or other control point. Firewalls require a consistent IP, but routable IPs are a limited resource that can be quickly depleted if applied to every service.
With the Calico Egress Gateway, a new feature in Calico Enterprise 3.0, existing firewalls and control points can now be used to securely manage access to infrastructure and services outside of the cluster. In addition, IT teams are now able to identify an application/workload in a Kubernetes namespace via the source IP.
As organizations progress on their Kubernetes journey from pilot to production, they begin migrating existing applications into the cluster, which has merged with the greater IT environment. For the platform teams involved, this creates challenges because these apps will need to communicate to services outside of the cluster.
