Sharklink has frickin' laser beams
Using Python to craft an Observability Weathermap; Linux 6.8 optimises TCP throughput; slashing AWS data transfer costs by 99% and stopping nitpicking in code reviews
This week we’ve got an essential read 📕 to master AWS Cloud; creating a Network Automation lab 🥼; VLSM like a pro visually 🪄; using Open Network Linux on your whiteboxes 🎁; making use of your Raspberry Pi as a NAS 🗄️; a better way of diff’ing config files ⚖️ and more. Let’s dive in; ⬇️

Creating our Network Automation Lab walks through using Vagrant, VirtualBox and Git to spin-up a local lab and get NetDevOps’ing into the wee hours ⏰
Open Network Linux (ONL) is an open-source, foundational platform software layer for next-generation, modular NOS architecture on open networking hardware apparently, and it supports most whitebox hardware 🗳️
Visual Subnet Calculator helps you visually VSLM-up IPv4 netblocks and see how they sub-sub-sub-divide out, right in front of your eyes; CIDRs all the way down 🐢
Network Topology Visualization – Example of Using LLDP Neighborships, NETCONF and little Python/Javascript is a fascinating ride into using NetDevOps for an observability 🥽 payoff
Linux 6.8 Network Optimizations Can Boost TCP Performance For Many Concurrent Connections By ~40% and you thought the TCP congestion algorithm was one thing and note a choice… 🧐
