Heavy Networking 535: The ‘What’s On Your Mind?’ Roundtable

Today’s Heavy Networking is a roundtable show. We’ve invited a bunch of engineers to rock up to the mic to tell us what’s on their minds.
Topics include why EVPN/VXLAN is useful even for small data centers, how to get automation going when internal processes slow you down, the pros and cons of unique network designs, and tales of how working from home has affected projects, teams, and priorities.
Our guests are Chris Cummings, Nash King, Oliver Elliott, Tobi Metz, and Justin Seabrook-Rocha.
