With the coming of Cloud-Native Applications, the need to handle, scale and integrate containers instead or with the traditional applications, is bringing a lot of IT professionals to be more and more involved in the Kubernetes world. In fact, this new model to deliver workloads has different roles and approaches compared to the traditional virtual […]
Cloudflare, one of the most important security platform in the world, is an interesting solution for surely publish and maintain contents over the internet. The ability to handle DNS acts as a reverse proxy and take care of the incoming connection from the Internet to my own server are the main reasons why I choose […]
As promised on my post here, it’s time to show how dive into vSphere scenarios generating the “infrastructure as code”. In fact, the modern cloud infrastructures are more and more delivering the final customer using many automation tools like Terraform. In this way, it is possible to consume cloud resources regardless of the underline cloud […]
My previous lab described here was composed by a SuperMicro E200-8D equipped with an Intel Xeon D-1528, 32GB RAM, and a single 512GB SSD. During my labs, I noticed how the vCenter is able to consume a lot of resources even if deployed in the smallest available configuration. Near this problem, the new need is to have two […]
How many infrastructure administrators are repeating the same task many times? Unfortunately, it happens again and human mistakes are in the nearest corner! PowerCLI is giving a great hand that really contribute to stopping “monkey works” on vSphere based infrastructure and solve a lot of infrastructure automation tasks like deploy and manage, migrations, making detailed […]
Today the life of sysadmin and developers is really easy! By the use of tools like Vagrant, Terraform, Powershell, PowerCLI, Puppet (…) is possible to automate a lot of infrastructure processes like virtual machine deployment, SDN reconfiguration and a lot of integration with storage elements.

But every repository may contain docs, examples or other files near the needed application. When it’s time to build an application which is […]
Hi folks! The reuse of ex-vsan hosts could be a painful process if they are simply deleted from vCenter. In fact the correct host decommission from vSAN cluster is realized removing disks from vSAN group in order to be free for another vSAN usage. It’s known that a simple ESXi host reinstallation doesn’t erase the […]
After my last vSAN deploy based on three Lenovo (IBM) x3650-M5 equipped with MegaRAID M5210 and 2 Cache and 4 Capacity disks, I discover from vSAN health section that a tool called storecli is required (or better is highly suggested) for my RAID controller. The purpose of this tools is to enable additional health check […]
Hi folks! During these days I realized a nested lab based on VMware vSphere 6.5 on a single Supermicro E200-8D. Spending more or less 1500€ I grabbed a SuperMicro E200-8D mini server with the following equipment: 32GB RAM bought on Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/superserver-e200-8d/CT9319014) 1 SSD 500GB (planning to buy another SSD in order to separate the workloads) Let me […]
