This week we’re checking out the Semaphore UI for IaC Tools like Terraform and Ansible 🏳️; fighting DDoS and living to tell the tale 😎; running a full Service Provider MPLS SP setup in our EVE-NG Lab 🥼; reflecting on a year of being an Engineering Manager 🤔; checking out how big ships keep the big transatlantic series of tubes 🚇 going and getting more swamped with Network Engineering roles. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
NetEng 🔧
Semaphore UI is a Modern UI for Ansible, Terraform and Bash and does for Network Automation runbooks what Power Automate does for business flows, but sucks much, much less 👍
I fought a DDoS and lived to tell the tale will ring true to those of you who’ve been On Call, mid-sippy-cup and heard that damn Sev 1 kick off before you even ate your first bit of food 🤯
Service Provider Automated Setup is a fantastic EVE-NG SP Topology which emulates an entire MPLS PE, P and CE setup, with multi-vendor, rings, access, IP VPNs and more 👏
Troubleshooting BGP/MPLS on Cisco and Juniper Devices because it still isn’t dead, SD-WAN vendors, so we need to know how that MP-BGP and LSPery does it’s thing 🏷️
Terraform with NSX Multitenancy helps you bring IaC practices to the ubiquitous on-premises ESXi SDN companion 🔖

The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat is absolutely fascinating if you had no idea how fragile, and intense, Internet backbone operations in the field (well, the actual sea) can really be 🧑🏫
