This week we’ve got EVPN and VXLAN twinning 👭 in the DC; getting your lettuce 🥬around AWS Lattice; deploying fibre 🔎 in the home if you have a splicer handy; lessons from running a SaaS company 🔥; watching AWS Lambda scale by clicking 🖱️ a button; AI Prompt Engineering is dead ☠️ before it began and more. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
NetEng 🔧
EVPN-VXLAN Data Centers: Architecture walks through the need for these often-twinned technologies, high level design batters and contrasts to the way we used to solve for this in the DC ☎️
Introduction to AWS VPC Lattice dives deep into the AWS Managed Hub offering and contrasts the benefits of it against stock VPC wrangling for your myriad of Containers to stitch together 🪡
Zero to Hero: Networking Fundamentals Crash Course (1 hour) explains Networking from a beginners (or even Developer’s) perspective, going down the stack from HTTP and QUIC down to founding protocols like BGP, NAT and L2 🤙
Network Automation is not an Effortless Spacewalk offers a comparable analogy of NetEng to NetDevOps to space missions that resonates more than the usual “crawl, walk, run” one 🏃♂️
Deploying Fiber In The Home not only is useful if you happen to have a fusion splicer handy (sidenote - we checked, melting fibre cord in the oven doesn’t work) but also helps bring some of the SP concepts of fibre and Transmission Networking home 🏠
