Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Layer 2 Bridging Use Cases – Software or Hardware Gateway
▪ P2V or V2V migrations from VLAN to VXLAN migrations where
changing IPs is not an option
▪ Extend physical network services/appliances/servers to VMs in
logical switches
▪ Extend virtual services (VM) in the logical switch to external devices

NSX 6.2 Software Layer 2 Bridging Enhancements
Prior NSX 6.2
▪ A logical switch could NOT
simultaneously:
• Participate in distributed routing
• Extend layer 2 to a VLAN
▪ Must use NSX Edge or Physical
Router for routing
NSX 6.2 and later
▪ On a given Logical Switch, Distributed
Logical Routing can coexist with
bridging
▪ Optimise traffic flow by eliminating the
need to route through a central NSX
Edge
▪ NOT currently supported on HW-VTEP

Physical (Rack) Connectivity
Software Gateway
▪ A single bridging instance per Logical
Switch
▪ Bandwidth limited by single bridging
instance
▪ VLAN need to be extended to Edge Clusters
(DLR Control VM / Bridge Instance)
Hardware Gateway
▪ Main benefits of hardware gateway:
Bandwidth, Scale and Low-latency
▪ Also allows extending VXLAN to areas that
cannot host a Software Gateway
▪ With Hardware Gateways, VLANs can be
kept local to a rack and don’t need to be
extended – L3 end-to-end

Hardware VTEP Prerequisites
▪ Supported VMware NSX version (VMware NSX 6.2.x and later)
▪ Supported VMware NSX License Edition
▪ Supported Hardware (Physical Switch) & firmware version
▪ Management (OVSDB) & Data Plane (VTEP) Connectivity
▪ Limitations
• Does not support bridging to NSX DLR
• In cross-vCenter deployment, hardware binding only supported on Primary
NSX Manager
17. 17
Management Connectivity
NSX – Hardware Switch Controller (HSC) Communication
▪ Open vSwitch Management Protocol
(OVSDB Protocol) RFC 7047
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7047
▪ The Hardware Switch Controller (HSC) is the
entity to which the NSX controller connects
in order to control Hardware switches
▪ The HSC runs an OVSDB server, presents
hardware ports to NSX
▪ The NSX controller runs an OVSDB client
that connects to the server on the HSC
▪ The HSC can run on a Hardware Switch itself
or it can be a separate appliance responsible
for several Hardware Switches
18. 18
▪ In the case of Arista, the
OVSDB server is run by CVX
(CloudVision eXchange)
▪ NSX Controller connects to
CVX
▪ The information exchanged
by the control plane allows
setting up the data plane, i.e.
VXLAN tunnels between
VTEPs
Management & Data Plane Connectivity
19. 19
Data Plane Connectivity
Multidestination BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, Multicast) Traffic
▪ BUM traffic uses Replication Service
Node (RSN)
▪ RSN = VMware ESXi host
▪ vSphere Cluster = Replication Node
Cluster
▪ BUM traffic from Hardware Gateway
VTEP uses RSN
▪ BUM traffic from ESXi VTEP uses
usual NSX replication mode
mechanisms
▪ RSNs are protected by Bidirectional
Forwarding Detection (BFD)
sessions from the Hardware
Gateway
20. 20
Hardware VTEP Configuration Steps
1. Create Replication Service Nodes (RSN) / Replication Cluster
2. Configure Hardware Switch Controller (HSC)
3. Add Hardware VTEP Gateway to NSX
4. Extend Logical Switch to Hardware VTEP Gateway Port
