Microburst were Opal Fruits in my day
"Wait, you can get DNS from 8.8.8.8? I thought it was just for ping testing..."
This week we’ve got JCNR Juniper Cloud Native Router ☁️; the ever-growing proliferation of VXLAN into everything 📈; NetBox Labs and their big, big, Big Tent ⛺️; XDP isn’t the CDP you thought it might be 🥸; Infrastructure decisions after multiple years of a startup 🥶; Windows gets sudo made a sandwich 🥪 and more. Let’s dive in; ⬇️

Juniper Cloud Native Router (JCNR) brings an interesting container-based JunOS solution to GCP Cloud 🫙
What is VXLAN and why is it being used everywhere? apart from notably not in my back yard, hey, you, VTEP! Ger’off’ma’lawn! 👴
Our Network Discovery and Assurance Partnerships and NetBox Labs’ Big Tent Philosophy is an interesting model for how NetBox Labs see the NetDevOps space 🧩
Microburst Detection with Wireshark helps troubleshoot one of the more nagsome parts of Network troubleshooting; the “sometimes” issue 🕵️♂️
What is XDP after all? because it’s most certainly not the CDP alternative we thought it might be 📖
The top of the DNS hierarchy is technically just a
.(dot), but there’s much more to it than that… 🎶
