In this post, I’m going to walk you through the process I used to build a Vagrant box for Cumulus VX that will work with VMware desktop hypervisors (like VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation ). First, you’ll want to get a hold of the VMware version of Cumulus VX. This will create a “native” VMware VM.

In my opinion, VMware is much too dependent on their vSphere product suite. This isn’t an analysis of VMware’s sales or market share. Earlier, I wrote a post on VMware’s path to ruling the datacenter. I also wrote a post on how VMware maybe on the path of previous tech giants such as Novell.

Mirantis, a company that “delivers OpenStack cloud and open source application infrastructure” (taken from their About page ), recently posted a blog entry about how accepting VMware as an OpenStack Foundation gold member was a mistake. Well, I do think that Mirantis author is wrong, but I’m not here to defend VMware.

When it comes to cloud native application platforms, we’re at an important evolutionary point: will the best practice for platforms be to build or to buy? Should you choose the components you need for a platform and integrate them together, or should you buy a pre-integrated platform? Before I get to why, what even is a “cloud native platform”?
