JNCIE – ShortestPathFirst

Had a chance to sit down with Netherlands-based Fellow Juniper Networks Ambassador Said van de Klundert (JNCIE-SP #2573 and JNCIE-DC #26) at the Juniper NXTWORK 2018 conference in Las Vegas. Said is an incredibly knowledgeable network engineer, content developer and blogger, with a wealth of practical experience in the Service Provider, Data Center and Cloud arenas.

We spent a good portion of our time discussing one of my favorite topics — the JNCIE-DC exam, building out a JNCIE-DC lab environment, and his contribution to iNET ZERO’s JNCIE-DC Lab Preparation Workbook. In addition, we discussed his current work at IBM SoftLayer and his emerging interest around DevOps and automation tools such as Python and SaltStack.

Although I am continuously challenged to pronounce NXTWORK correctly, I really enjoyed this interview and hope you do as well!

First of all, let me apologize for the long delay in getting this next Juniper Ambassador interview published. I had a death in the family in December and it consumed a good portion of my time these last two months, so I’ve had little time for social media activities.

Alas, I’m very excited about this next interview – I spent time with one of my favorite Juniper Ambassadors, Dan Hearty (JNCIE-DC #190) at the Juniper NXTWORK 2018 conference in Las Vegas. Dan is just an awesome guy all around, a brilliant technologist, and one of our most active Ambassadors.

We discussed his contribution to the 2018 Juniper Ambassador’s Cookbook, Contrail Enterprise Multicloud and his interest around VMware NSX integration with Juniper’s Data Center products, emerging trends in the Data Center space, specifically around network virtualization, overlays and abstration, and his life as an Ambassador.
