A growing set of browser-based tools for network engineers — speed test with bufferbloat grading, BGP route lookup, DNS propagation, SSL inspector, MTU calculator, and more. Everything runs client-side against public APIs. No accounts, no installs.
How to wire up a new site on Cloudflare with Git-triggered auto-deploys, then hand Claude a scoped GitHub token so AI-assisted edits flow from a chat conversation straight to production — without ever opening a terminal.
A look at why organizations are moving away from Cisco ACI toward NX-OS VXLAN EVPN managed by Nexus Dashboard — the operational, strategic, and market forces driving this shift in 2025 and 2026.
Everything you need to know before deploying Nexus Dashboard 4.2 in VMware ESX — node profiles, hardware requirements, storage specs, and critical restrictions.
A practical guide to reading BGP looking glass output — how to interpret the AS path, origin AS, next hop, RPKI status, and route collectors, and how to use a looking glass to diagnose reachability problems, suboptimal routing, and hijacks.
Step-by-step deployment of the Cisco Workflows Automation Remote OVA in VMware vSphere — what it does, what gets installed, the gotchas to watch for, and how to verify it's relaying traffic correctly.
A practical, opinionated walkthrough for rolling out Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall on a real domain — start in monitor mode, layer in protections, set up alerting on spikes, and why OWASP Core Ruleset is usually a mistake.
Step-by-step: how to build a no-code Cisco Workflow that connects to an IOS-XE Catalyst device, runs show or configuration commands, captures the output, and acts on it — using the SSH adapter.
1X opened its NEO factory in Hayward on May 1, 2026 — humanoids now shipping to homes at $20K or $499/month. The wild part: NEO's path to autonomy runs through human teleoperators.
