### AI overview

A collection of links covering data center technologies, including EVPN/VXLAN networking, Xeon 6 server availability, the VMScape exploit, F5 appliance vulnerabilities, a Red Hat GitLab breach, multi-tenant Kubernetes, cloud migration, Pulumi resource hooks, and Terraform-related AWS tag management.

### Source excerpt

Welcome to Technology Short Take #189, Halloween Edition! OK, you caught me--this Tech Short Take is not scary. I'll try harder next year. In the meantime, enjoy this collection of links about data center-related technologies. Although this installation is lighter on content than I would prefer, I am publishing anyway in the hopes of trying to get back to a somewhat-regular cadence. Here's hoping you find something useful and informative! Networking Kevin Myers dissects EVPN/VXLAN interoperability with MicroTik and IP Infusion. Ivan Pepelnjak has a new project: open source EVPN/VXLAN labs. I plan to tackle these myself in the near future! Servers/Hardware Kevin Houston takes a look at the availability of Xeon 6 CPUs across blade server vendors. Security Security researchers recently published some research on a new microarchitectural exploit called "VMScape." The TL;DR on VMScape is that it allows hypervisor information to leak from a malicious VM. Oops! Olivier Lambert has a write-up that explains why the Xen hypervisor is not affected by this exploit. (Side note: be sure to read the comments--Olivier shares some useful information there.) The leaking of source code for F5 appliances by a "nation-state affiliated cyber threat actor" has lead the CISA to call on all federal agencies to mitigate vulnerabilities in F5 appliances due to "an imminent threat to federal networks using F5 devices and software." That's not good. In early October of this year, Red Hat confirmed the breach of one of its GitLab instances, leading to the theft of nearly 570GB of data across 28,000 repositories. Oof. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management Iain Smart reviews some common exploit paths when trying to build multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters. As Iain says, multi-tenancy is hard. Digital Society discusses their migration off AWS and Digital Ocean to Hetzner. Just this past week I learned of Pulumi's resource hooks, a feature made available back in June of this year. Hrittik Roy discusses vClus

### AI overview

A writeup of migrating Later for Reddit from docker-machine-based infrastructure to DigitalOcean's hosted Kubernetes service. It describes the migration's motivations, including aging infrastructure, disk-space issues, an Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade, deployment workflow concerns, and the benefits the author expects from Kubernetes.

### Source excerpt

I recently completed a migration from my old docker-machine-based infrastructure (so 2016!) to Digital Ocean's hosted kubernetes service. The bulk of the work was completed in a single evening. It went almost seamlessly, but not so seamlessly that I wasn't able to learn a few things. The goal of this writeup is not to serve as comprehensive documentation, but hopefully you'll take away some ideas about how to get your own setup rolling.

### AI overview

Codename One describes moving its Linux infrastructure from DigitalOcean to Linode after finding Linode's pricing substantially lower. The migration took a couple of days, reportedly reduced Linux server expenses by half, and was completed without downtime using Cloudflare. The author notes that Linode's interface is less polished, while perceived performance may reflect a shared machine that was not yet full.

### Source excerpt

We haven't talked as much in recent years about what it takes to run Codename One. Our infrastructure and backend are pretty complex with multiple pieces working in cohort to make everything feel like a single product. As part of that we work with 5-10 different backend SaaS providers that sell us various services, this might seem like an "odd" statement since the number should be fixed but it isn't...

### AI overview

A practical guide to setting up Riemann for basic site and system health monitoring. It covers installing Riemann on an Ubuntu DigitalOcean server, viewing events with its command-line tools, and configuring email notifications.

### Source excerpt

Riemann is a general-purpose event processing system, but its most typical application is as a place to send and generate metrics about applications. I recently set up a Riemann server for my personal projects, and I feel like my devops game is stepped up by 1000%. Or, at very least, I feel like I know know about it as soon as one of my sites goes down.
