A .local town for .local people
Going deep on EVPN; eBPF for packet steering; NSX for newbies; beginning your journey with Docker; 3 budgets that aren't financial; researching WFH and more
This week we’ve got a 📕 book to get to grips with AWS Cloud; dive deep into EVPN 🛜 Types 2 and 3; redirect packets with eBPF; back that sh!t up with Nornir and Ansible 🎱; learn NSX and Docker 🫙; think of SQL as an API 🤟; reconsider our use of .local TLD 🕸️ and more. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
NetEng 🔧
EVPN Deepdive Route Types 2 and 3 goes deep, Type 3 deep on EVPN BGP attributes and VTEP discovery 💡
BGP EVPN Part II: Network Virtualization Overlay with BGP EVPN and VXLAN - Introduction is worth being read to make sense of the link above ⬆️
eBPF Networking Techniques - Packet Redirection will feel familiar if you’ve messed with iptables to NAT or masquerade packets on Linux boxes 📦
Backing up device configurations using Nornir and Ansible is a quick win into NetDevOps practices with a useful byproduct of backing all your IOS configs up 🗄️
NSX for Newbies (The Series) if that part of Broadcomware has got in your dayjob (NSX-V to NSX-T migration you say? Nope… 🏃♂️)
A Docker Tutorial for Beginners is the best README-style introduction to Docker - and the wider world of Containers - out there on the Internet 🫙

NotEng 🤔
Discovery is the original sin of the modern age take us back to the eDonkey and Limewire 🍋 days
