  • TIL Krebs also means crab, I always thought it was only “cancer”, so “flow cancer” seemed like a strange name.

  • bgp + vxlan + evpn is pretty standard in datacenters now. I’m surprised they’re running udhcpd in a ns, instead of cloud-init data iso directly. While it wasnt stated but I think using nft/based firewall is pretty common. For kvm anyone knows if they use qemu or something else for vmm, directly or via libvirtd.

  • Its interesting to learn them trying to implement the open vSwitch in python. I worked on implementing the open vSwitch in Java some time in 2014ish too. Open Stack had a lot of push back then. It was fun to gather the requirements by reverse engineering the original product based on the network traffic for something which is a middleware and has a state of its own

  • Oh, my Hetzner VM just had a 13 hour outage from yesterday evening to today morning. They say there was some incident with their DNS servers or something.

    I don't recall that ever happening during my 12 years at Digital Ocean. But yes, the Hetzner VM is both cheaper and beefier than the DO one was.

  • Love Hezner amd how cheap they are for the services they provide. I'm building a "roll your own Vercel" on top of it. It's gonna be open source full self hosted or a semi-managed (bring your own Hetzner server and pay for some sugar on top) service. Appreciate any feedback!

    We triple the price from one day to another and don’t answer support tickets on weekends.

  • This appears to be a BGP EVPN (VXLAN)-like architecture, with the VTEPs pushed down to the hypervisors instead of living on the ToR switches. (Also OpenStack's network architecture.)

  • An interesting read.

    I've just started with Hetzner, and their storage box product to try cloud backups via Restic.

    Whilst very competitively priced, the 3MB/s transfer rates I am currently achieving on a 1000/400 fibre connection means I am unlikely to ever use the 10TB I have supposedly been allotted.
