Finally, I got a couple of hours to upgrade my lab from vSphere 6.7 to vSphere 7. Following one of the announcements during VMworld 2019, this new release comes with some great functionalities like the native support of Kubernetes, the dynamic hardware assignment, and some enhancements on DRS, vMotion, etc… For my lab purpose, I’m […]
In my previous posts, I already showed how with a simple vanilla template and cloud-init template it’s possible to create a fully customized workload without “manual” interventions respecting the declarative methods where possible and in the same time injecting scripts able to prepare the virtual machine for the real purpose of the workload. In this […]
As seen in my previous post, the “for-each” statement can be used by Terraform main and data to cycle on VM properties and properly fill the cloud-init templates transforming a single static declarative file, into a dynamic template that could be reused in a lot of cases. During the Terraform execution probably you’ll see that […]
I already write here about the ability to use Cloud-init in conjunction with Terraform to build an efficient and infrastructure-as-code system to cover infrastructure and configuration setup using the same deploy engine. Now. it’s time to take a step forward, showing how to use a for-each statement with Terraform to deploy different virtual machines using […]
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 […]
Containers and Kubernetes are definitive solutions to develop and deploy cloud-native applications. While the developer must produce code keeping in mind the abstraction of the underline systems, the infrastructure, and then deploy and delivery models are still a challenge for operations and infrastructure guys. Probably a lot of cloud-native applications are borning in the cloud, […]
A new vSphere version is live with some improvements. Near some useful vCenter features and improvements like File-based backup and restores using SMB and NFS protocol and simplified certificate management, a look into integrations with Code Capture and the vSphere Enterprise ROBO are new ingredients of this last release. Let’s see in-depth… New features and […]
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 […]
Preparing VMware certification exams could be not easy, especially if your working days are full of activities and you haven’t enough time to read the exhaustive documentation that is available on the documentation section in the official website. In order to prepare the exam the first thing to check is the “Blueprint“: the list of the contents […]
