today i learned, github publishes everyone’s public keys at https://github.com/username.keys. very handy for bootstrapping a machine. mine

topology the following scripts will create the VMs and the necessary OVS plumbing to generate the topology associated with the above diagram. these should be run in the following order: start-vms.sh start-topology.sh follow the gist links to get the raw source. NB the start-topo.sh script will create a number of interfaces. the most notable of which is the mgmgt0 interface which it will assign an IP address to. you’ll want to make sure that it’s not going to conflict with anything you need to access....

overview to build a virtualized network topology from the most base elements it’s as simple as starting a virtual machine with the necessary number of virtualized interfaces and interconnecting these virtual interfaces to other virtual machines or physical interfaces. while there are tools1 which will nicely automate the creation of topologies and handle the lifecycle of VMs. all of these are effectively placing a nice wrapper around the following process....

you can have multiple pythons enabled at the same time so that those applications which you run which make assumptions about python2 being available work.
