NetEng 🔧
Developing NetBox Plugin - Part 1 - Setup And Initial Build is part one of a five-part series on integrating NetBox with a wider ecosystem of NetDevOps tooling and worth a lab up 🧑🔬
SR OS FP5 ANYSec and MACSec Demo is a downloadable lab demo of using the Nokia technology ANYsec alongside the industry standard MACsec as well as some cool Streaming Telemetry bits like gNMIc and even network slicing 🥒
Docker builds over SSH might simplify your approach to some OSS and NMS containers when you realise you can effectively netboot Docker volumes over SSH Tunnels at runtime (PXE boot, we hardly missed ye) 🧚
AutoCon Reflections is worth a review now we’re just past AutoCon 2 last week and ready for more NetDevOps 💪
AWS: Egress Traffic and Using AWS Services via IPv6 goes deep in the weeds of making IPv6 work to the Internet via the available AWS Cloud NAT and NAT-like options ☁️

NotEng 🤔
Our cloud-exit savings will now top ten million over five years which is probably still less than our EC2 instance bill, “Yes, hello, is that the Bank? About that loan…” 💸
The Call of the Monolithic Codebase is a lesson in what’s old is new, and what’s new is… current? Read about how there’s no one “right” approach, just a bunch of micro-compromises 👨💻
Eng org seniority-mix model applies a financial model to proving that succession planning your Juniors into Seniors is a very fiscally sensible thing to do 💡
Web Browser Engineering or “so you think you know how a Browser works, eh?” proves you probably know much less about HTTP, the DOM, CSS, CSRF and a whole bunch of other bits than you think you do 🛜
Be Suspicious of Success as there’s always a bug you’ve never thought to test because you focussed on liquid quantity and sizes in a pub situation where the customer asks where the toilet is 🚻
