Scaling A Volunteer Run Internet Exchange, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Automation

by Bronwyn Lewis @ SFMIX
Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 11:55 AM

An often unknown, and yet critical part of internet infrastructure, internet exchange points (IXPs) range from large commercial operations to a single switch set-up in someone's spare time. But how do you grow from a single point exchange to something bigger and better, with very few resources?

This is the ongoing story of the San Francisco Metropolitan Internet Exchange (SFMIX) — a non-profit IXP run by volunteers and crafted with love, git commits, and Ansible. Using devops and netdevops practices, we've learned a lot along the way about what works, what doesn't work, and what still needs work — and most importantly, how it is relevant to any organization or project. As a bonus, you' ll get to learn all about IXPs and how they help the internet.
