However, for Docker containers, following security questions remain open: can Docker platform be trusted, can Docker images be trusted? This presentation introduces Intel’s work to enable the transparent and trusted… Continue reading Trusted Docker Containers and VMs
IPv6 impact on Neutron L3 High Availability
In OpenStack Juno release, L3 high availability in Neutron is implemented using Keepalived, which internally uses the VRRP protocol. It is an active/passive solution where a Keepalived instance is spawned in every router namespace and the instances communicate via a dedicated high-availability network, creating one per tenant. The IP addresses that are used in the… Continue reading IPv6 impact on Neutron L3 High Availability
