Ask HN: How Can I Learn Network Architecture Concepts?
My job has moved me more from frontend SWE to an SRE/DevOps role and I feel pretty out of my depth in networking conversations. I know some ops stuff, like sshing into linux boxes and fixing things/how to do that. Here are some example topics I keep running into that I seem to know nothing about:
* Looking at proposed network architecture diagrams and everyone else rolls their eyes at 'obvious' mistakes made, I don't see the problem in the design
* Segregating traffic based on layer (Oh, well it does that at layer 7, not layer 4)
* Flow logs, and where to place monitoring (several times situations have some up where everyone thought it was obvious what was deficient in a monitoring setup, I did not)
* BGP and route advertisement in an internal network (looks like the issue is that the routes aren't being advertised properly)
Can someone point me to a resource that would help learn these things pretty fast? An Oreilley Book maybe, or good series of articles?
