OpenStack Summit, May 2017, Boston – An Experience
I got the opportunity to attend the OpenStack summit in Boston. The summit was full of events mostly focused on OpenStack cloud, but many other things including NFV, Kubernetes, Containers, DevOps and approaches to pursuing multi-cloud approach. Many companies showcasing their products, platforms, software solutions were the highlights of the
Dell EMC World 2017
The most awaited event of the year is just around the corner; Dell EMC world 2017 is making its grand entry in style on 8th May 2017 at Las Vegas. For the first time, the entire Dell technology family will be under one umbrella and will be sharing its expertise with thousands of attendees. Dell EMC world is full of opportunities for attendees as well as for leaders;
RabbitMQ – Robust Way of Messaging for Application
RabbitMQ is open source message broker software. The principal idea is pretty simple: it accepts and forwards messages. RabbitMQ is the most popular open-source implementation of the AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) messaging protocol, written in “Erlang” that you can access from any language. It is software where queues
Open Networking Summit 2017
Open Networking Summit will be held on 3-6 April, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. It is one of the largest events of the networking industry and it puts all the leaders and enterprises under one umbrella and gives them a chance to share an educative and learning opportunity. ONS provides platforms for networking ecosystem, including incumbent vendors, operators, to discuss
Kubernetes Networking Internals
Kubernetes works on the principle of assigning IP addresses to pods, called as “IP-per-pod” model. The IPAM (IP address management) task is left to third party solutions. Some of these solutions include Docker networking, Flannel, IPvlan, contive, OpenVswitch, GCE and others. The Kubernetes architecture consists of master node, replication controller..
Future of Networking : Software Defined Networking (SDN)
There have been a lot of innovations in the virtualization domain which has benefited compute and storage. However those benefits are constrained due to limitations in the traditional network model. It is becoming increasingly difficult task to manage infrastructure which needs rapid network provisioning and also can be a time consuming.
Docker Container – A Silver Bullet for IT Industry
You might have heard word ‘Docker’ much frequently. All the noise is happening IT industries because most of the companies are adopting Docker technology at a noteworthy rate. So what actually Docker is? In a simple sentence, “Docker is an open source, container technology“. Using this technology you can easily create, deploy and run your Linux application
Getting Started with Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
First question that comes to mind is whether SDN and NFV are same or different or related technologies? SDN and NFV are independent technologies. SDN creates a separate management plane which sits a floor above the traditional control plane so as to get wider view of the network and orchestrate using network protocols like OpenFlow. So, with the SDN approach
Securing Docker Containers
Docker is a great technology which simplifies the development and deployment of distributed applications. While building dockerized applications, security at various points needs to be considered. Due to lack of CPU/Hypervisor, Docker security is fully implemented in Software. Let us look at all prominent security aspects of kernel and container applications
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in 2017
2017 looks to be a promising year for software-defined networking (SDN) enthusiasts. According to recent research by IDC, the worldwide SDN market is expected to grow to $12.5 billion by 2020. This includes physical network infrastructure, control software, SDN applications, and last but not least professional services. Software-defined networking gained
