Flathub Blog: What's next for Flathub build infrastructure
There is a storm coming and we are re-architecting our build infrastructure.

Red Hat ☛ How VXLAN encapsulation affects Arm (aarch64) servers
In the previous article, Linux on Arm (aarch64) servers..., we examined flat networks. That is, we used only bare network interfaces and nothing else. That's a good start, but it is often not the topology used, especially with solutions like OpenStack.

We’ll reuse the hosts and testing procedures, with only the modifications to add VXLAN. For details on the test environment, please refer to the previously mentioned article.
