While I find myself traveling far less than in years past (by design), I still get to poke my head out into the world of NOGs and Cons from time to time. One such opportunity is upon us this week; I’m packing up today for the 2016 edition of AWS re:Invent. Heralded as the “largest global […]

Have you ever moved halfway across a continent? Further? Heck, have you ever moved at all? Did you enjoy it? Moving is pretty universally hated by the folks I’ve spoken to. Packing up all of your things and hauling them from one house/apartment/condo/trailer to the next is not typically seen as a fun exercise. So, when […]

Today I’m headed off to San Diego and the first ever Americas Interconnection Summit, put on by Open-IX. This open, neutral event is targeted at all Internet participants interested in interconnection, including Internet Service Providers, Content Providers and Content Delivery Networks, Data Center and Internet Exchange Operators, and related network hardware and software suppliers. The […]

What an incredible start to the year we’ve had! So many great conferences and so much amazing work has already been done across the Internet industry in 2015. The race towards the future, and my travel around the world, continues this week in Dubai with MENOG 15 (which is also a RIPE NCC regional meeting). […]

Another IETF meeting is in the books. And what a meeting it was! Lot’s of activity around many of our Deploy360 topics occurred all week. If you weren’t able to follow along in real-time, I encourage you to look back over our IETF 92 blog posts and check out the relevant working group meeting presentations, […]

After nearly 3 weeks at home (my longest stretch since last August), I’m off to join the already-in-progress APRICOT 2015 in Fukuoka, Japan. For those who don’t know, the annual APRICOT (Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies) is a: Ten-day long summit consist[ing] of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, birds-of-a-feather (BOFs), and other […]

It feels like I just got back from ION Sri Lanka. Perhaps that’s because I’ve only been home about 9 days! There’s no time to spare though, as we here on the Deploy360 team are ramping up into 2015. So, off I go to San Antonio tomorrow for NANOG 63! The change in calendar means […]

For the past several months, the DO team has been pouring over the survey results, continuing our discussions with operators around the world, and also discussing (and debating) how to put all of that together into a document. At the end of the day we decided to stay out of the way as much as possible, letting the results (and respondents) speak for themselves. I invite you to take a read and let us know what you think. I believe this is a great place for us to connect existing efforts and conversations, and hopefully start new ones as well. That discussion will continue in person next week. First on Sunday in the IEPG meeting, then again Wednesday morning, at a bit greater length, in the OpsAWG (Operations Area Working Group) meeting.

I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at the 1.0 meeting of the Hong Kong Network Operators Group (HKNOG) next week! The full-day HKNOG 1.0 meeting will be held on Monday, 01 September 2014 in East Hong Kong. This is a free to attend event, so if you are a network engineer based […]
