How Red Hat ran a Global OpenVPN offer during the COVID-19 Pandemic with 99% Open Source Software
summary
Red Hat reports a global OpenVPN estate that uses 99% open source components (OpenVPN on RHEL and RHV), relies on Akamai GTM for smart DNS routing and Infoblox for client DNS and RPZ blocking, and enforces 2FA. Capacity planning doubles IP pools and adds servers so a 65% global peak and ~60% of associates connected simultaneously do not cause outages. Automation moves from Puppet to Ansible and toward OpenStack autoscaling and IPv6 to eliminate IP-range limits.
