Using the CloudFlare API via Python

Very early on in the company’s history we decided that everything that CloudFlare does on behalf of its customer-base should be controllable via an API. In fact, when you login to the CloudFlare control panel, you’re really just making API calls to our backend services. Over time that API has matured and improved. We are now on v4 of that API.

The current CloudFlare API is documented here and it’s used by both the CloudFlare control panel and directly by umpteen customers every minute of every day. The new API is designed with a clean naming structure and consistent data representation for data. It’s also extensible.
This blog entry introduces python-cloudflare, a Python wrapper providing full access to the CloudFlare v4 API.

Open Source for Public Cloud

This is the century of CLOUD technology after virtualization passed throught. And there is many software are building and developing for cloud computing and also each manufacturer/vendor also preparing himself for cloud technology. 

OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

Open Stack provided:

OpenClos

What is OpenClos?

"OpenClos is a set of Python scripts and libraries that have been written to automate the creation of IP Fabrics in the data center. OpenClos has been developed as an open-source project and lives on GitHub. OpenClos takes a set of inputs that describe the shape and size of a data center and it outputs network switch configuration files and even a cabling plan.

One of the major design tenets of OpenClos is that everything should be abstracted. You can easily add new network switch devices into your IP Fabric using templates. The same template architecture can be used to add new functionality to an IP Fabric such as multicast, VTEP parameters, or any company standards such as message of the day (MOTD) or users and groups."

OpenClos is mainly design for BGP, and to build IP Fabric, like software-as-a-service (SaaS) or software-defined networking (SDN). OpenClos creates and automates the implementation of an IP Fabric, and everything will be in detail in IP Fabric.

Who is Cisco?

 

Cisco Systems was founded in December 1984 by Leonard Bosack, who was in charge of the Stanford University computer science department's computers, Sandy Lerner, who managed the Graduate School of Business' computers, and Richard Troiano.
Despite founding Cisco in 1984, Bosack, along with Kirk Lougheed, continued to work at Stanford on Cisco's first product. It consisted of exact replicas of Stanford's "Blue Box" router and a stolen^[8] copy of the University's multiple-protocol router software. The software was originally written some years earlier at Stanford medical school by research engineer William Yeager. Bosack and Lougheed adapted it into what became the foundation for Cisco IOS. On July 11, 1986, Bosack and Lougheed were forced to resign from Stanford and the university contemplated filing criminal complaints against Cisco and its founders for the theft of its software, hardware designs and other intellectual properties. In 1987, Stanford licensed the router software and two computer boards to Cisco

 

Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) is the worldwide leader in IT that helps companies seize the opportunities of tomorrow by proving that amazing things can happen when you connect the previously unconnected.

At Cisco customers come first and an integral part of our DNA is creating long-lasting customer partnerships and working with them to identify their needs and provide solutions that support their success.
The concept of solutions being driven to address specific customer challenges has been with Cisco since its inception. Husband and wife Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner, both working for Stanford University, wanted to email each other from their respective offices located in different buildings but were unable to due to technological shortcomings. A technology had to be invented to deal with disparate local area protocols; and as a result of solving their challenge - the multi-protocol router was born.
Since then Cisco has shaped the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, employees, investors and ecosystem partners and has become the worldwide leader in networking - transforming how people connect, communicate and collaborate.
