Hi everyone, this week we have a special VMware TAM Blog posting to kick off the newsletter. I hope you enjoy it.

 

Capacity Management Using vRealize Operations

By Jason Gaudreau

In the physical world, we tend to overprovision because experience tells us when you have enough resources, there shouldn’t be problems. If you apply this mindset to a virtualized environment, you’ll negate the benefits of server consolidation.

What are some of the key goals of operations management?

• Delivering high-quality infrastructure, services and applications

 

• Operate IT assets as efficiently and cost-effective as possibly

• Implement and adhere to IT policies, standards and regulatory requirements

If you are in the US we wish you a happy presidents day. Until next week, take care everyone.

    Multi-Container Docker with YAML and Vagrant (http://blog.scottlowe.org/2015/02/11/multi-container-docker-yaml-vagrant/)In this post, I’ll provide an example of using YAML to create a multi-container Docker environment in Vagrant. I made a brief mention of this technique in my earlier post talking about how to use Docker with Vagrant , but wanted to provide an example. For me, I know that examples are often quite helpful when I’m learning something new. Since one of my primary goals here is to help enable others to learn these technologies, I figured an example would be helpful. So, to that end, here’s an example that…

Neither of these technologies should be new to my readers; I’ve already provided quick introductory posts to both (see here and here ). However, using these two together may provide a real benefit for users who are new to either technology, so I’d like to take a bit and show you how to use Docker with Vagrant. …
