When deploying Kubernetes on VMware Cloud Foundation, it’s important to understand that VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) and VMware NSX have different roles. VKS provides the Kubernetes platform where applications run. NSX provides much of the networking and security infrastructure…
For years, infrastructure transformations have largely been driven by technology. New hardware, new hypervisors, new management tools, and new architectures promised greater efficiency and scalability. Yet many organizations discovered that while the technology changed, the way they operated did not.…
Designing for FTT=1 and STT=1 Without Creating Hidden Risk vSAN Stretched Clusters are often positioned as the pinnacle of on‑premises availability design: two active data centers, synchronous storage replication, and automated recovery. Yet in practice, many stretched clusters fail not…
Designing a modern VMware availability and disaster recovery strategy often feels like a forced choice between two competing priorities: achieving near-zero downtime or protecting workloads across long geographic distances. VMware Stretched Clusters are exceptionally effective at delivering continuous availability across…
As virtualization continues to mature and hybrid cloud models become the norm, one architectural principle consistently proves itself essential for both resilience and security: the separation of workload and management. In VMware environments—whether traditional vSphere, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), or hybrid…
At VMware Explore, I attempted to take a VCF certification as it was free of charge, so why not? I have no working experience with the product, so it went as expected. I have to study and retry. However, i…
This is my first VMware conference. I want you to know that I have no idea how the previous ones have been. It is obvious to me that we are standing at a “fork in the path”. VMware is fully…
I am working on a project that requires gathering configurations. This script will log into the vCenter and export the Network configuration to a CSV.
