This week we’ve got REST 🛌 for Network Engineers; why we’re using EVPN instead of TRILL, STP 🌲 and others; Networkless computing ⭐️ is finally here; operating a scale-out Juniper SRX firewall 🎇 cluster; tracking Starlink launches 🚀 on a cool map; HTTPS as a DNS record type 📋 and a gamut of NetDevOps jobs 💼.
