Networking in the Cloud Fundamentals, Part 1 AWS Morning Brief

    • Tech News

Over the course of my career, I’ve worn many different hats in the tech world: systems administrator, systems engineer, director of technical operations, and director of DevOps, to name a few. Today, I’m a cloud economist at The Duckbill Group, the author of the weekly Last Week in AWS newsletter, and the host of two podcasts: Screaming in the Cloud and, you guessed it, AWS Morning Brief, which you’re about to listen to.

Join me as I ramble on about why networking in the cloud doesn’t matter until it does, IPv4 and the emergence of IPv6, the anatomy of a network, how networks talk to one another, the difference between a network in a data center and a network in the cloud, why wire cutters are nature’s best firewall, and more.
