[Blog] Containers, Docker and Kubernetes: A Beginner's Guide Part 2

"Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.” - Stewart Brand. In this article, Barry does a deep dive into Kubernetes Networking: how communication takes place between clusters consisting of various nodes and pods, and examines the technologies that implement this, in particular Apstra's AOS, Big Swtich's Big Cloud Fabric and SnapRoute's CN-NOS.

Flextune Wavelength-Tunable DWDM Transceivers

Finisar's Flextune™ self-tuning capability significantly decreases CapEx & OpEx - only a single transceiver SKU is needed to support the full C-band (instead of 40 or 96), so the required inventory for sparing is significantly reduced. It also saves hours during deployment by reducing complexity and eliminating the need to track fibers because up to 96 wavelength-tunable transceivers in a DWDM network will automatically configure their wavelengths within ~5 minutes without any input from field technicians or the host network equipment. Modules are truly plug-and-play.
