Any cloud networking and security folks going to AWS Summit NY (July 26)?  

Is anyone attending the AWS Summit in New York this Wednesday, July 26th? Having attended last year, I found that the AWS Summit was a great opportunity to connect with customers, partners, peers, and vendors supplying services within AWS. This provided great insight into the power of AWS and many platforms to help enhance an organizations of utilization of AWS in order to truly meet the business needs of the company. I’m looking forward to learning about how security continues to be enhanced in AWS and to protect the applications running within. In addition, I’m looking forward to understanding how to build out solutions that not only meet the technical objectives but also keep costs and the business in mind this year! I am excited to see you on Wednesday at Booth #235 and hope that if you’re traveling in from out of town you have the opportunity to walk around and explore NYC and all that it has to offer! Will you be in NY this week? What’s your advice for those attending the AWS Sum

Industry Article: Lack of Cloud Expertise Creates Gaps for MSPs to Fill | July 12, 2023

 By Mike Vizard on July 11, 2023A survey of more than 900 technologists and leaders in the United States, Europe, Australia, and India conducted by Pluralsight, a provider of an online platform for learning IT skills, finds that nearly two-thirds of respondents (65 percent) are working for organizations that employ multiple clouds. Still, only 9 percent report having any extensive experience with more than one cloud.In theory, the skills shortage should create a massive gap for managed service providers (MSPs) to fill. However, nearly three-quarters of respondents (74 percent) said they expect to increase investments in developing cloud skills. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are the most in-demand cloud skills (23 percent). The largest cloud skills gaps exist in data, analytics, engineering, and storage (42 percent), followed by security and governance (37 percent).MSPs must demonstrate their cloud expertiseThe challenge that MSPs face is convincing organizations to rely

How to limit topology replay to the last 3 months

Our topology replay keeps data from Dec 2022 until today. Actually, we are not interested in keeping data that far; and sincerely, it is a little bit of a nuisance during emergency because if something happens today, you end up spending time zooming in.Any idea how to prune this data? I reduced Topology Replay disk utilization to 2k records and I did not see any difference. Thanks, A

“How to achieve network simplicity in Google cloud (GCP) and the importance of customer-centric relationship”

  A candid chat with Sr Manager of Application Development Asif Masood  In this episode Asif shares some golden nuggets learned during his extensive career in technology.

Currently we have in our environment too many AWS Peerings and we are considering enabling Connected Transit and let Aviatrix manage inter-VPC communication. I would like the transition to be as transparent as possible for our end users; thus I have few questions:Will the AWS Peerings conflict after I enable Connected Transit? When do you delete the AWS Peerings, before or after enabling Connected Transit? Was there a significant change in cost regarding data transfer now all traffic is going thru the Spoke Gateeways?I am interested in learning from you experience. thx Antonio
