Intel® Network Builders University Offers New Courses on Cryptography and Hyperscan
Two new courses are publishing in the Intel® Network Builders University this month, bringing our total available courses to 71, so log in and experience them firsthand.
- Cryptography Basics: This course provides an introduction to cryptography, including a brief history.
- Hyperscan: This course provides an introduction Hyperscan. It is an open source software pattern-matching library, created by Intel under a BSD license. The Hyperscan software develops, tests, and documents sets of OS-independent, multi-threaded pattern matching libraries. You can learn more about Hyperscan and download it at 01.org/hyperscan.
The online portion of the University is available to all Intel Network Builders program members and the public through a simple registration here. Intel Network Builders University is one of three learning centers in Intel® Builders University, which also includes the Intel® Cloud Builders University and Intel® Storage Builders University. Registrants have access to all of the content in the three learning centers and the new courses added each month. Below are the new courses from the Intel Cloud Builders University learning center.
- Containers 101: This video provides an introduction to container technology.
- Intel® Resource Director Technology Demos with Noisy Neighbor Detection: This is a demonstration that illustrates how to detect and control noisy neighbors with a GUI based on the Intel Resource Director Technology.
- Cloud Workload Placement Considerations: This video will help viewers understand how to build a unified hybrid cloud leveraging both the public and private clouds. Key topics include software defined infrastructure, containers, virtual machines, and workload placement.
Please take a look, and after exploring the offerings, let us know what content you would like to see added to the university.

Fast Data (FD.io) Project Issues Fourth Release, Furthers Position as Universal Dataplane
Last month, FD.io announced the availability of its 17.04 software release. The project's fourth release contains a set of new features to enable commercial-ready solutions for software defined infrastructures. Created to address the gaps that exist in the open networking stack to deliver dynamic data plane services for dynamic computing environments like cloud, containers, and network functions virtualization (NFV), the design of FD.io is hardware, kernel, and deployment (bare metal, VM, container) agnostic.
Technical Spotlight
Deploy an SDN Wired/Wireless Network with Open vSwitch* and Faucet*
In this article, learn how to configure a software defined networking (SDN)-enabled wired/wireless network using Open vSwitch* (OvS) with Faucet* (an open source SDN controller) through detailed instructions.
Intel® QuickAssist Technology: Performance Debug
In this video, learn how to get good performance from Intel® QuickAssist Technology software. It describes the performance issues you might encounter, how to troubleshoot issues with appropriate tools, and how to address problems. Performance issues aren't always straightforward, and the video also discusses performance tradeoffs and provides additional resources.
Enabling New Features in Kubernetes* for NFV
This document provides a summary of the following four new Kubernetes* features that Intel has developed and shows how they can be used in an NFV deployment: Multus CNI Plugin, SR-IOV CNI Plugin, Node Feature Discovery for SR-IOV VFs, and CPU Core Manager for Kubernetes.
