Network monitoring, “Wonderwall” by Oasis, virtual test environments, Wu-Tang Clan (Cumulus Rules Everything Around Me!), validating configurations and cursed email chains. What do all of these things have in common? They’re all topics in Kernel of Truth’s second episode! Now, if you want to know HOW all of these seemingly random talking points fit together, you’ll have to listen for yourself, but the main focus of this discussion is Day 2 operations. Specifically, we get into important topics like:
- The importance of accurate virtual environments
- Managing configuration changes
- How to handle updating configs and removing vulnerabilities
- Why screenshots of Word documents make network operators die inside
- And more!
Our guest panel consists of two networking ops experts from Cumulus Networks: Rama Darbha, who you’ll remember from our previous episode on network automation, and Pete Lumbis. These industry pros provide first-hand experience and insight into why Day 2 operations deserve just as much attention as architectural design.
