🗂 “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.”

> my company is based in Oakland. This is like being based in San Francisco, but with fewer microclimates. Rolling up to work in a company hoodie, jeans, a t-shirt from your last company, and a pair of Tevas is A-OK. But the further east you go, the more formal everyone’s business wear gets. Jeans turn into chinos somewhere around the Mississippi, and then into actualfacts slacks. T-shirts become button-down plaid, and then long-sleeve with ties.

VMware uses NSX for Istio

> The microservice architecture, which breaks complex applications into sets of single-purpose networked components, can be a challenge to manage, as each microservice must be instrumented, secured and locatable in a dynamically reconfiguring network. In addition, multiple copies of microservices may be run in parallel, to meet the demands of a growing demand. Their traffic must be managed as well. > > A service mesh, which attaches a sidecar to each microservice, standardizes and moves the development of these tasks from the individual developer.
