I mentioned in my last post that I would start updating practical use cases for generative AI. The first example use case is your project documentation. As software engineers, we spend days of our lives writing project docs. The reality is that people learn and consume data differently. Overly detailed docs may cause some people’s… Continue reading ChatGPT your Project Docs

Open Source Flow Monitoring and Visualization
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”]Open Source Flow Monitoring and Visualization[/fancy_header3] At the heart of any reasonably sized network, should be a solid strategy around flow collection, querying and visualization. Proper use of flow logs are crucial to SecOps/NetOps from triaging attacks to capacity planning and traffic trending. I remember some 20 years ago, the first time I saw… Continue reading Open Source Flow Monitoring and Visualization
Measuring Network Bandwidth using Iperf and Docker
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”]Measuring Network Bandwidth using Iperf and Docker[/fancy_header3] At the heart of any network engineer’s toolkit, are applications that let you peer into the network for performance, congestion and capacity planning. One of the thoroughbreds in the open source network tools collection is iperf. Iperf has been around for a long time. The good folks… Continue reading Measuring Network Bandwidth using Iperf and Docker
GoBGP – A Control Plane Evolving Software Networking
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”]GoBGP – A Control Plane Evolving Software Networking[/fancy_header3] If I have talked to you over the past year or two about networking, odds are I have mentioned a project to you called GoBGP. If we have spoken a lot, you are probably sick of me talking to you about GoBGP 🙂 There is a… Continue reading GoBGP – A Control Plane Evolving Software Networking
Configuring Macvlan and Ipvlan Linux Networking
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”]Configuring Macvlan and Ipvlan Linux Networking[/fancy_header3] Macvlan and Ipvlan are both Linux type networking interfaces that are both supported by the Linux kernel. They are unique for a few different reasons. One thing that makes them both very attractive is they do not use bridges in their implementation and natively namespace aware. It solves… Continue reading Configuring Macvlan and Ipvlan Linux Networking
Docker on Google Compute Engine Using Docker Machine
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”] Docker on Google Compute Engine Using Docker Machine[/fancy_header3] Next up in Using Docker Machine across private and public clouds, is Google Compute Engine (GCE). As with the other posts, a diagram of how I view the importance of a Docker Machine abstraction. First, if you don’t already have an account you can get… Continue reading Docker on Google Compute Engine Using Docker Machine
Building Network Tools using Docker
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”]Building Network Tools using Docker[/fancy_header3] I am going to start pushing out an app every month that fixes some problem in networking. In this case I hacked it up over the past couple of weekends, but other times it will just be me using someones open source awesomeness and demoing it. First some thoughts… Continue reading Building Network Tools using Docker
Running Docker Machine on Digital Ocean
[fancy_header3 textColor=”#25b6eb”] Running Docker Machine on Digital Ocean [/fancy_header3] Continuing the series on cloud provider examples using Docker machine, up next is Digital Ocean. As with the other posts here is a diagram of how I view Docker Machine usage. For those who don’t have an account already, you can sign get $10 credit with… Continue reading Running Docker Machine on Digital Ocean
