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

Dzone - DevOps

What Are Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)? Previously, proprietary hardware performed functions like routers, firewalls, load balancers, etc. These hardware functions are packaged as virtual machine images in a VNF. VNFs are virtualized network services that are packaged as virtual machines (VMs) on commodity hardware.

Azure VMware Solution: Connectivity (Part 1)

Perficient

We’ll also cover how to provide AVS virtual machines access to the internet. Since AVS supports both, the gateway can be deployed in either a Hub & Spoke topology or Virtual WAN. Currently FastPath is only supported with the Ultra Performance and ErGW3AZ virtual network gateway SKUs. A default route (0.0.0.0/0)

The Network Also Needs to be Observable, Part 2: Network Telemetry Sources

Kentik

To achieve observability in modern networks, it is key to gather the state of all of the networks your application traffic traverses — overlay and underlay, physical and virtual, as well as the ones you run and the ones you don’t. Traditional WAN : WAN access switches, integrated services routers, cloud access routers.

Optimizing Network Stability and Reliability Through Data-Driven Strategies

Kentik

If you think about everything application traffic flows through between its source and destination, the sheer variety and volume of physical and virtual devices are enormous. A data-driven approach means nothing if it doesn’t mean more data. Some of these devices an enterprise network engineer owns and manages, and a lot of it they don’t.

Closing the Network Performance Monitoring Gap and Achieving Full Network Visibility

Kentik

Until just a few years ago, enterprise networks were predominantly comprised solely of one or more private data centers connected to a series of campuses and branch offices by a private WAN that was based on MPLS VPN technology from a major telecom carrier. And even virtual appliances become impractical to employ effectively.
