Helping with the strategy and design of the ever-evolving Rackspace global MPLS backbone. Continuing to improve past designs by innovating and streamlining using new technologies and platforms that maximize high-scale hardware efficiency in an extensive, multi-tenant, cloud-focused, multi-region, global network. Mentor engineers who desire a deeper understanding of networking technologies.Deployed new modern servers in every main DC around the globe running Proxmox. We are running many services on these hypervisors including these .. * Deployed Grafana + InfluxDB in redundant locations and deployed a global network of telegraf nodes to collect data from all areas of the network. * Deployed netflow collector consuming data from 40+ edge devices globally.* Deployed a Sniffer service on the new Hyp platform for our NOC, Netsec and Fulfillment teams to consume. We are using dedicated PE interfaces connected to our hypervisors and passing those physical connections directly to these sniffer VMs using IOMMU/VT-D PCI passthrough. We are using LDP-based pseudowires to transport remote monitor sessions to our servers attached to the PEs. We have one more interface facing inside the DC core of each region to consume ERSPAN sessions from network devices.* Deployed a Syslog service on the new Hyp platform consuming syslog from 50k devices globally. We have given a live view of all incoming syslog with filter support matching on hostname, message, os, or dc. We also store a copy of all syslog messages in a PostgreSQL DB to query later for historical trends.All services are deployed in a programmatic, repeatable way to ensure they can be properly maintained.
