I'm taking a trip down the 101 to #NFD27 in two days, with @cloudtoad, @fracticated, and more. Come for the stories and live demos... but stay for the game at the end. All real, zero BS.

[Forward Networks @FwdNetworks]

Join us Wednesday at 1:30pm PST, as we present live at Networking Field Day 27! Featuring all new content, our CTO, Technical Solutions Architects, and Network Query Engine creator will demo how the Forward platform harnesses The Power of Data. https://t.co/RdAy27wIOA

Congrats to the amazing @FwdNetworks team! Well deserved!! 💪

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

@3dpNero @Polymaker_3D Source? Might have to make one myself.

For context, those features Jon is referring to, from @FwdNetworks: Security Posture, Blast Radius, and CVEs, a button click away, derived from the truth of the network.

Fun meeting! Learning a ton lately about how to _think_ about security and how network visibility connects.

In fact, @cloudtoad and I took a deep dive into the security at Black Hat recently:

@joltsik - How well did we capture the pulse on #ZeroTrust ?

[Jon Oltsik @joltsik]

Just off a meeting with @forwardnetworks, a company that can create a network "digital twin" for network engineering and ops. Burgeoning use cases for security including zero trust, investigations, and risk mitigation. Very cool! #cybersecurity #infosec #ZeroTrust #netsec

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

@cloudtoad and I are back, in-person and with mic in hand, not just headsets in the Zoom "studio".

We had some fun at #blackhat2021 - skewering a buzzword, breaking things, and seeking truth in... security. Have a listen!

@stranger_quark @SChecoPerez @Charles_Leclerc Leclerc has impressed lately, but I believe in Perez. Am I saying that to throw you off in our Fantasy F1? You decide. #teammazespin4evernot #teamverstappenifhepassescorner1

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

@GrantM That was a fun conversation - I think, in a single take? We covered a lot of areas.

It's a good intro of @FwdNetworks, but more than that, it's a way to dive deep and hear about the amazing software work done by the team that makes each deployment possible.

[Heavybit @heavybit]

In episode 38 of EnterpriseReady, @GrantM speaks with @everywhyguy of @FwdNetworks. They discuss tactics for improving enterprise networks, tips for hiring engineers, and insights on the many roles co-founders play as they launch their companies. https://t.co/Y5MygMZ6xB

@stranger_quark I have to give Ford's marketing team some credit here... For arguably their most important release in years, they were able to hand the POTUS the keys, leave him with an EV grin, and have him "slip" a key performance stat. The F-150 Lightning launches tonight 🤔...

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

@JeffreyMogul just shared some great advice from Google's systems experience on #ONUGSpring2021 that's worth sharing: In hindsight, large outages tend to be a violation of one of two rules: (1) failing to test rollback, or (2) failing to roll out incrementally.

The #MarsHelicopter is really “spreading its wings” now – even pushing beyond my camera's field of view. Watch my view of Flight #3, as Ingenuity takes off on a long run (164 ft/50 m) down its flight zone and back. https://t.co/ESQu9PIL9S

Former #ansible power-user seeks current #Terraform -er.

Likes long walks through the state graph at sunset.

Willing to trade 🍺 for 🤯 .

Is that you, or do you know anyone?

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

@stranger_quark Can confirm. Soup and bread were tasty.

@cloudtoad I'm not sure how I'd use some of the flexibility in practice, but it's definitely an interesting evolution!

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

On yesterday's Starlink launch, I heard that _every_ 2021 SpaceX launch was on a reflown booster. Amazing how quickly things go from impossible to 'the default'.

Best CAPTCHA ever; seen on #github today.

Could a robot truly feel the grandeur of a galaxy of stars? (Well, neural networks are getting pretty good these days... )

It's a reminder to get excited for the James Webb Space Telescope @NASAWebb ! #space #NASA

[Brandon Heller @everywhyguy]

Yes, the floof is strong with this one.
