History of SDN-like approaches
I stumbled across an interesting paper called The road to SDN: an intellectual history of programmable networks (ACM DL link) this morning. It’s good to place current trends in historical context especially while keeping RFC 1925 Rule 11 in mind.
The concept of active networking is particularly intriguing to me. Could eBPF be the instruction set for a revival in this area? This may not make sense on a per-packet basis but perhaps for larger PDUs/messages?
Cloud Native Day Kicks Off
Go 1.7
Today I rebuilt one of our micro-services using Go 1.7.
1.7’s new SSA compiler produces faster code but I was surprised to see this much improvement. This isn’t a perfect comparison – a couple of library dependencies got updated as well and Kubernetes may have put the containers on different machines in the cluster.
Go 1.7 and SSA
Go 1.7 is out. One of the big features is the new SSA based compiler. The article below describes some of the tooling around this new feature.
Looking at your program’s structure in Go 1.7
The Go project does a great job of tooling.
Random Algorithms
Intel Hyperscan
Hadn’t seen this before. Looks interesting.
Vim Shortcuts
Original source. A nice way to visualize Vim shortcuts.
Linux Perf Tools
It’s a complicated world. Original location.
