• Beyond innovation: Cross-functional skills for IT leaders

  Innovation is a key quality for business leaders, especially within IT. It is an inward process that involves listening to others and pooling information to develop creative and strategic decisions.

• Hands on vDPA: what do you do when you ain't got the hardware (Part 1)

  In an earlier post, we provided hands-on instructions leveraging the vdpa_sim simulator. As the virtio/vDPA project continues to evolve, we have changed the process used for creating vDPA devices. We have also introduced a new vDPA software device called vp_vdpa which provides real traffic capabilities compared to loopback-only mode the previous vdpa_sim software device provided In this article we explain the different vDPA software simulators, and provide detailed instruction for hands-on use cases you can try out. We now have two vDPA software simulators: vdpa_sim and vp_vdpa. In Part 1 of this article we’ll focus on hands-on examples with vdpa_sim, and in Part 2 we’ll look at hands-on examples with vp_vdpa.

So how can IT teams execute their automation more consistently, while still managing a platform centrally? And how can they automate endpoints in remote areas with limited connectivity? Just like edge computing requires bringing various compute resources closer to the endpoints, automation at scale has similar requirements: Organizations must deliver and run automation closer to the devices that need it.
