Part 2 in the series on Using Docker Desktop and Docker Hub Together
In part 1 of this series, we took a look at installing Docker Desktop, building images, configuring our builds to use build arguments, running our application in containers, and finally, we took a look at how Docker Compose helps in this process.
In this article, we’ll walk through deploying our code to the cloud, how to use Docker Hub to build our images when we push to GitHub and how to use Docker Hub to automate running tests.
Docker Hub is the easiest way to create, manage, and ship your team’s images to your cloud environments whether on-premises or into a public cloud.
This first thing you will want to do is create a Docker ID, if you do not already have one, and log in to Hub.
Once you’re logged in, let’s create a couple of repos where we will push our images to.
Click on “Repositories” in the main navigation bar and then click the “Create Repository” button at the top of the screen.
You should now see the “Create Repository” screen.
You can create repositories for your Continue reading
Dell’s groundbreaking $67 billion acquisition of EMC in 2016 was heralded by the vendor as a way to bring together two top-tier IT vendors with highly complementary parts to create an organization that could essentially provide for whatever technology needs their customers might have. …

Greetings from Latinflare, Cloudflare’s LatinX Employee Resource Group, with members all over the US, the UK, and Portugal. Today is Cinco de Mayo! Americans everywhere will be drinking margaritas and eating chips and salsa. But what is this Mexican holiday really about and what exactly are we celebrating?
Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for "Fifth of May", is an annual celebration held in Mexico on May 5th. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. Zaragoza died months after the battle due to illness. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders.
In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. More popularly celebrated in the United States than Mexico, the date has become associated with the celebration of Continue reading

If you have more than three Cisco Nexus switches in nx-os mode, and you are not using Cisco DCNM or any other similar tool, you probably already have encountered this question: How to automate file uploads to your Cisco Nexus switches? Here is a turnkey Python script using Netmiko’s SCP function to do this. This script is very simple, it relies only on Netmiko functions and SCP. But it does its job very well and I share it here because it can certainly help you to save time. What…

Earlier this year, Cloudflare acquired S2 Systems. We were a start-up in Kirkland, Washington and now we are home to Cloudflare’s Seattle-area office.
Our team developed a new approach to remote browser isolation (RBI), a technology that runs your web browser in a cloud data center, stopping threats on the Internet from executing any code on your machine. The closer we can bring that data center to the user, the faster we can make that experience. Since the acquisition, we have been focused on running our RBI platform in every one of Cloudflare’s data centers in 200 cities around the world.
The RBI solution will join a product suite that we call Cloudflare for Teams, which consists of two products: Access and Gateway.
Those two products solve a number of problems that companies have with securing users, devices, and data. As a start-up, we struggled with a few of these challenges in really painful ways:

Hello my friend,
Finally we approached the point where we start dealing with the network functions again, now at a high scale. After we have successfully generated the configuration files for our Microsoft Azure SONiC network functions, it is a time to boot them, span them and get the emulated data centre up and running.

Because you decide on your own when, how often and how quickly you can learn.

At this training we teach you all the necessary concepts such as YANG data modelling, working with JSON/YAML/XML data formats, Linux administration basics, programming in Continue reading
Andrea Dainese is continuing his journey through open-source NetDevOps land. This time he decided to focus on log management systems, chose Elastic Stack, and wrote an article describing what it is, why a networking engineer should look at it, and what’s the easiest way to start.
This article was originally posted on the Amazon Web Services Architecture blog.
In a recent customer engagement, Quantiphi, Inc., a member of the Amazon Web Services Partner Network, built a solution capable of pre-processing tens of millions of PDF documents before sending them for inference by a machine learning (ML) model. While the customer's use case--and hence the ML model--was very specific to their needs, the pipeline that does the pre-processing of documents is reusable for a wide array of document processing workloads. This post will walk you through the pre-processing pipeline architecture.

An aspiration of modern web scale networking is to leverage a pure L3 solution and integrate it with anycast addresses to allow for load balancing functionality. So why is this design aspirational? Well it requires discipline in the way that applications are architected— specifically around tenancy requirements and application redundancy. In this blog I’ll discuss a recent augmentation that was introduced into Cumulus Linux 4.1 that makes this style of design much more flexible in web scale networks.
Two common challenges when using anycast addressing in layer 3 only solutions are:
The first solution was implemented back in the early version of Cumulus Linux and is well documented. This solution is also known as “RASH” as the colloquial term.
The second solution addresses an interesting artifact of the way Layer 3 routes are advertised and learned, specifically with regards to next hop selection. Let us imagine the following simplified design:

The IP address of 192.168.1.101 is an anycast address that is being advertised by 3 different hosts in our environment. These three hosts are all serving the exact Continue reading

Docker Desktop WSL 2 backend has now been available for a few months for Windows 10 insider users and Microsoft just released WSL 2 on the Release Preview channel (which means GA is very close). We and our early users have accumulated some experience working with it and are excited to share a few best practices to implement in your Linux container projects!
Docker Desktop with the WSL 2 backend can be used as before from a Windows terminal. We focused on compatibility to keep you happy with your current development workflow.
But to get the most out of Windows 10 2004 we have some recommendations for you.
The first and most important best practice we want to share, is to fully embrace WSL 2. Your project files should be stored within your WSL 2 distro of choice, you should run the docker CLI from this distro, and you should avoid accessing files stored on the Windows host as much as possible.
For backward compatibility reasons, we kept the possibility to interact with Docker from the Windows CLI, but it is not the preferred option anymore.
Running docker CLI from WSL will bring you…
