University of Toronto ☛ A rough guess at how much IPv6 address space we might need
One of the reactions I saw to my entry on why NAT might be inevitable (at least for us) even with IPv6 was to ask if there really was a problem with being generous with IPv6 allocations, since they are (nominally) so large. Today I want to do some rough calculations on this, working backward from what we might reasonably assign to end user devices. There's a lot of hand-waving and assumptions here, and you can question a lot of them.
I'll start with the assumption that the minimum acceptable network size is a /64, for various reasons including SLAAC. As discussed, end devices presenting themselves on our network may need some number of /64s for internal use. Let's assume that we'll allocate sixteen /64s to each device, meaning that we give out /60s to each device on each of our subnets.

Matt Blewitt ☛ Regular Restarts Are Good, Actually
Regular restarts of compute units bring one obvious benefit - resolving memory leaks. Broadly, this is what the documentation means by “maintain the health of applications” running on the platform. Slow memory leaks are insiduous, only appearing when taking a suffienctly zoomed out view of memory utilisation by the application, and a regular restart is one way of papering over that behaviour.
