Why I killed our IPv6 project…
Posted by tomperrine in best practice, IPv6, System Administration on January 16, 2018
Seven years ago we started an “IPv6 project”. The goal was to deploy IPv6 throughout our internal game studio network. After two months of analysis, I approached my boss and recommended we kill it. At least as an “IPv6 project”. It was reborn as a “clean up our network architecture, and oh by the way, add IPv6 (and a bunch of other things)”.
2018? Wait, what?

Wow, I’m behind. It was a busy year, and not a lot going on that I could really talk about publicly.
The recent meltdown and spectre bugs have brought back some memories from Orange Book days. I’ve also been spending a lot of time thinking about “IT transformation” and non-technical stuff. I’ve also been to the UK and Japan, twice, each, which may become the “new normal”.
Let’s see what happens in the next 12 months.
