Virtual Network Functions in VPC and Integration With Event Notifications in IBM Cloud

Dzone - DevOps

Previously, proprietary hardware performed functions like routers, firewalls, load balancers, etc. In IBM Cloud, we have proprietary hardware like the FortiGate firewall that resides inside IBM Cloud data centers today. What Are Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)?

Announcing Complete Azure Observability for Kentik Cloud

Kentik

Kentik customers move workloads to (and from) multiple clouds, integrate existing hybrid applications with new cloud services, migrate to Virtual WAN to secure private network traffic, and make on-premises data and applications redundant to multiple clouds – or cloud data and applications redundant to the data center.

Azure VMware Solution: Connectivity (Part 1)

Perficient

Since AVS supports both, the gateway can be deployed in either a Hub & Spoke topology or Virtual WAN. Scale units are used instead of a specific SKU when creating a gateway within Virtual WAN. Figure 1 includes a sample architecture using Virtual WAN. Figure 1: Connectivity into an Azure Virtual WAN.

Practical Steps for Enhancing Reliability in Cloud Networks - Part I

Kentik

Highly available networks are resistant to failures or interruptions that lead to downtime and can be achieved via various strategies, including redundancy, savvy configuration, and architectural services like load balancing. Resiliency. Resilient networks can handle attacks, dropped connections, and interrupted workflows.

Optimizing Network Stability and Reliability Through Data-Driven Strategies

Kentik

We believe a data-driven approach to network operations is the key to maintaining the mechanism that delivers applications from data centers, public clouds, and containerized architectures to actual human beings. Ultimately, we’re solving a network operations problem using a data-driven approach. More data!

eBPF Explained: Why it's Important for Observability

Kentik

For example, to determine latency using traffic generated from probes or by analyzing packets, that traffic would likely pass through routers, firewalls, security appliances, load balancers, etc. Second, in a busy network, devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls may be very busy operating at a relatively high CPU.
