System Architecture

An introduction to this new field, including the tools and skills it entails as well as how it differs from DevOps and site reliability engineering.

LF Energy is an open source foundation focused on the power systems sector, hosted within The Linux Foundation. LF Energy provides a neutral, collaborative community to build the shared digital investments that will transform the world’s relationship to energy.

Since its inclusion in the Linux kernel, the WireGuard VPN tunnel has become increasingly popular. In general, WireGuard is simpler to configure than other VPNs, but the approach that it takes to authentication can present some challenges. Each node in a WireGuard network has a cryptographic key that serves as the node's identity; nodes that do not know each other's keys cannot directly communicate. Keeping track of these keys and distributing them to the other nodes in a mesh network quickly becomes a chore as the network grows. Fortunately, there are now several open-source tools that can automate the management of these keys and make using WireGuard easier for both administrators and end users.

I’ve found my new favourite example of a well documented, tiny slice of data infrastructure. I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s probably the simplest dataset that is designated…

We’re less interested in empowering developers and a lot more pessimistic about the prospects of getting this stuff right. There are, in the literature and in the most sophisticated modern systems, “better” answers for many of these items. If you’re building for low-footprint embedded systems, you can use STROBE and a sound, modern, authenticated encryption stack entirely out of a single SHA-3-like sponge constructions. You can use NOISE to build a secure transport protocol with its own AKE.

Data in its current state is insufficient to meet the needs of users and intelligent applications. It needs to be elevated to digital knowledge by supplementing it with machine-actionable metadata. This is necessary to align on FAIR principles, reduce data wrangling, support the establishment of Open Data APIs, and unleash computer intelligence.

This document records a format whereby a network operator can publish a mapping of IP address prefixes to simplified geolocation information, colloquially termed a "geolocation feed". Interested parties can poll and parse these feeds to update or merge with other geolocation data sources and procedures. This format intentionally only allows specifying coarse-level location. Some technical organizations operating networks that move from one conference location to the next have already experimentally published small geolocation feeds. This document describes a currently deployed format. At least one consumer (Google) has incorporated these feeds into a geolocation data pipeline, and a significant number of ISPs are using it to inform them where their prefixes should be geolocated.
