This is a really useful post and I’m looking forward to future posts in this series. I’m a fan of Cumulus, but I’m admittedly a Linux guy (see here ) so you might say I’m a bit biased. Nice use of VMware Fusion in part 2, by the way.). ” I highly encourage reading this article.

This multi-tenancy page was recently added to the Kubernetes documentation; I say it is a welcome addition. Good to see VMware finally add support for cloud-init , the de facto standard in public cloud environments for quite some time. Matt Rickard shares some thoughts on when it is appropriate to use Kubernetes. Career/Soft Skills.

If you haven’t read any of the prior posts in this series, it would be ideal to read all of them before continuing; you can find links on my Learning NVP/NSX page. I’ll do my best to make sure that I’m clearly distinguishing between these ambiguous uses. Learning NSX, Part 12: Integrating VMware NSX with OpenStack.

Anthony Burke’s series on VMware NSX continues with part 5. Tom has since moved on to CSC (via the vCHS team at VMware) and has launched a “next-generation” version of Razor called Hanlon. Open vStorage compares itself to VMware VSAN, but supporting multiple storage backends and supporting multiple hypervisors.

While I’m a bit short on links in some areas, hopefully this is outweighed by some good content in other areas. I’m looking forward to future chapters in this series. Massimo Re Ferre has a great article discussing VMware Cloud on AWS versus Azure Stack and breaking down the differences between the two approaches.

While I get what Niran is trying to say here, I’m not so sure I agree with the analogy. ” I’m a fan of Terraform (despite some of its limitations), so it’s kind of cool to see new providers coming online. This seems very powerful to me, but I’m no serverless expert so maybe I’m missing something.

I’m a CLI fan, so I like this sort of stuff. Greg Schulz (aka StorageIO) has a couple of VMware storage tips posts you might find useful reading. If I can ever get my home lab into the right shape, I’m going to do some testing with this. The tool has recently been updated to help fix issues as well.

Ive chosen to annotate each factor with a " Y " if the app is appropriate for an external cloud, a " N " if not, and a " M " if maybe. M Apps where compute demand is "flat" and/or constant.

Jointly authored by VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Intel, this new protocol proposal attempts to bring together the strengths of the various network virtualization encapsulation protocols out there today (VXLAN, STT, NVGRE). .” I’m testing this in my OpenStack home lab now, and hope to have more information soon.

Given my previous role at EMC (involved in storage) and my current role at VMware focused on network virtualization (which encompasses SDN), I was quite curious. Even so, I’m going to keep an eye on Jeda to see how things progress. Jeda Networks describes themselves as a “software-defined storage networking” company.
