Our Next Meeting - Wednesday

Deploying Enterprise Application Services in Kubernetes
To deploy containerized applications
based on microservices architecture in
production, application services such as
load balancing, application security and
analytics need to be modernized. With the
growing adoption of container ecosystems,
Kubernetes and OpenShift are becoming
popular choices for enterprises today.
Kubernetes is a portable, extensible
open-source platform for managing containerized
workloads and services, that facilitates both
declarative configuration and automation. It has
a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. Kubernetes
services, support, and tools are widely
available.
Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in
2014. Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half
of experience that Google has with running
production workloads at scale, combined with
best-of-breed ideas and practices from the
community.
Avi Networks' Multi-Cloud Application
Services extend application delivery for K8s
clusters to cloud and on-prem data centers,
making migration across various ecosystems
easier. This session will look at the bigger
picture by exploring all the components
necessary to deploy a production-ready
container-based application.
Agenda:
- Review how containers and microservices
have changed traditional application
delivery
- Understand the 'North-South' and
'East-West' nature of microservices
- Learn how Avi fits into the k8s ecosystem
- working either alongside or replacing Kube-proxy
- Ensure application availability and
visibility with Avi's software load balancer
fabric
- Integration into CI/CD Pipelines
Note: To be better prepared for Gary's
presentation, please see the following overview
and additional detail on Kubernetes and
containers:

DFWCUG
welcomes Avi Networks as our monthly
meeting
sponsor for June 2019
Enterprises seek public-cloud-like
agility. However, appliance-based load
balancers can’t meet the needs of
cloud-native applications in modern data
centers. We built Avi Networks to match the
application services needs of these dynamic
environments that go well beyond load
balancing. Avi eliminates overspending and
over-provisioning and elevates load
balancing by taking advantage of the
strategic position of load balancers (in the
path of application traffic) to deliver
application insights that have never before
been possible. The Avi Vantage Platform
delivers elastic and programmable
application services on standard x86
servers, VMs, or containers on-premises or
in the cloud.
Our Last Meeting - Wednesday
May 1, 2019
Topic:
Securing the Datacenter with
Micro-Segmentation
Data centers have become drastically more
complex in the last decade, and it’s only
getting worse. Technology advances daily,
and by the time IT engineers finish an
implementation, it’s already time to
upgrade. Developers are deploying and
upgrading applications faster than anyone
could have ever imagined. We no longer have
a data center filled with bare metal
servers, in a single data center, doing
single tasks. Instead, we have virtualized
workloads doing multiple things, spread
across various geographical locations;
sometimes being hosted across multiple
providers, such as AWS or Azure. This is in
addition to our on-prem workloads.
In all this, attackers are becoming more
and more advanced. Threats are constant, and
they aren’t going away. By compromising a
single host, hackers are able to move freely
throughout our data centers, without the
fear of containment or rapid response. We
cannot continue to deploy 1990’s concepts
and technologies and expect to not be
compromised at some point. We need to start
thinking outside of the box and deploy
solutions that will not only baseline and
learn our environments, but react quickly
when things are behaving abnormally.

JP Cedeno, Technical Solutions
Architect - Cisco Systems, CCIE
#47408
JP started his career 19 years
ago as a desktop support
administrator. He quickly evolved
his skills and became a network
systems engineer, primarily dealing
with Microsoft and VMware
products. His projects included
building and migrating large scale
VMware clusters along with doing
Active Directory, Exchange, and
MSSQL upgrades and migrations.
JP was eventually promoted to a
managerial position overseeing the
enterprise infrastructure group. It
was his job, and the job of his
team, to maintain all systems within
the data center. At this point in
his career, JP had achieved his CCNA
and CCNP in routing and
switching. As a manager, he felt it
was his duty to better support his
team and achieve his CCIE.
After passing his CCIE lab exam
in 2015, he spent a little over 1
year redesigning iPexpert's CCIE R&S
bootcamp. He moved on to join Cisco
as a Technical Solutions Architect,
and also formed his own company to
provide the best Cisco training on
the market. XtremeIE currently
provides high quality video training
to hundreds of engineers looking to
advance their skill set and become a
true expert.
