FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, one of the major announcements that we made at VMworld and garnered a lot of attention was VMware Cloud on AWS. We provided many sessions on this and over the past weeks since VMworld there have been numerous articles and other information pieces related to this. I find this to be particularly interesting and looking forward to seeing much of this in action. Well now you can test this using the VMware Hand On Labs (HOL) with a newly released lab "VMware Cloud on AWS Hands-on Lab".
"See the new VMware on AWS solution. Interact with the VMware Cloud interface to perform basic tasks and manage your public cloud capacity." This is the premise behind the newly released lab and I hope that you will take it for a test run today. Have a chat to your VMware TAM or rep if you need any further information as I am sure there will be questions during and after running through this lab which you will need answered and they will be able to provide you with more insight.
You can also head over to our VMware Cloud landing page to see more on this and all of our other cloud offerings that are powered by VMware vSphere.
I wish you a fantastic week ahead, please do not hesitate to provide feedback on the newsletter.
Virtually Yours

- VMware NSX/Kubernetes and F5 – A Cloud Native App Integration

At first glance, Oakland University (OU) looks like a relaxed midwestern university with rolling lawns and students lounging under spreading oaks.

- NSX-T PowerCLI community module
During the development of my automated NSX-T 2.0 lab deployment script, I had created several PowerCLI functions using the new NSX-T cmdlets and NSX-T APIs to help me test and troubleshoot. I finally got a chance to clean up the code as well as package them all up into an NSXT.psm1 module which hope... - When to use Move-VM cmdlet vs xMove.ps1 script for performing Cross vCenter vMotions?

Last week, I had spent some time exploring and getting myself more familiar with NSX-T, which is the next generation release of the NSX platform from VMware. One of the first thing I do when learning about a new product is to setup a lab environment that I can using. Having gone through the deployme... - VMware Cloud on AWS - VM Creation Date available in vSphere API
I was recently doing some work with my VMware Cloud on AWS instance and I needed to verify something in the vSphere API. Since I already had a browser open, rather than context switch, I decided to quickly open up the vSphere MOB which is a debugging tool that provides a browser interface to the vSp... - Tip from Engineering - Use UEFI firmware for Windows 10 & Server 2016
Several weeks back I was chatting with a few of our Engineers from the Core Platform Team (vSphere) and they had shared an interesting tidbit which I thought I was worth mentioning to my readers.

There is a new update to very popular Replication software from Zerto.

As you know, Zerto is one of the co... - Ditch Your HDDs For ACloudA Gateway
An interesting concept from a company called ACloudA. Their hardware device replaces spinning media in your server by connecting to remote storage in a public or private cloud, via an iSCSI or SMB3 protocol. The server, which can run any OS, sees it as a local disk. Spinning media is unreliable, gen... - Patch vCenter Server Appliance configured with High Availability (HA)
One of the questions I received recently from a reader was a question concerning how to patch vCenter Server Appliance configured with High Availability (HA). If you’re still on Windows based vCenter, on an older version of VMware vsphere (5.5 or 6.0) then you might listen up. As you know, the lates... - VMware API Explorer Is a Free Built-in Utility in VCSA

SPBM is an integral part of VMware’s software defined storage vision... - Getting to grips with NFSv4.1 and Kerberos
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been looking to update some of our older white papers on core storage topics. One of the outdated papers was on NFS, and a lot had changed in this space since the paper was last updated. Most notably, was the introduction of support for NFS v41 in vSphere 6.0, along wit... - 2-node vSAN – witness network design considerations
It seems that 2-node vSAN for ROBO (remote office/branch office) deployments are becoming more and more popular. The fact that one can now connect the 2 vSAN hosts at the remote office directly back-to-back without needing a 10Gb switch has reduced the cost extensively. And with the introduction of ... - Upcoming speaker session at the Poland/Polska VMUG (Warsaw)

After over 12 years of writing here, I’ve accumulated a pretty fair amount of content. To help folks discover older content, I thought it might be fun to revisit what I’ve published in October in years past. Here are some “posts from the past,” all from October of previous ye... - The Linux Migration: Wrap-Up
As many readers are probably already aware, I embarked on a journey earlier this year to make Linux my primary laptop OS (see this update from April of this year). That journey ended (for now) when I ordered a new 13” MacBook Pro just before VMworld US. In this post, I’d like to reflect ... - Denver Network Programmability User Group Meeting

File vs. Block, why choose one over the other with vSphere. They both have their pros and cons which has influenced decision making when it comes to picking your storage with vSphere but VVols has changed the game of how storage protocols interact with vSphere which may also impact your decision mak... - With attendance down does this mean VMworld has jumped the shark?
As I reported in my annual post on my experiences at VMworld, attendance was down this year and in a fairly big way. VMware reported attendance at 20,000 this year which is about a 15% decline from the 23,000 who attended in 2015 & 2016. Is this a sign that less people care about what … C... - New report from IDC highlights the many benefits of VMware VVols
I find one of the biggest barriers to VVols adoption is lack of customer understanding of what VVols is and what it will do for them. Many customers are happy with VMFS and the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mind-sight is prevalent which keeps them using what they are comf... - VVols enhancements coming in the next vSphere release
I’ve known the VVols roadmap for quite a while but haven’t been able to share that publicly but VMware recently just shared it in a VMworld VVols session that is publicly available on YouTube so I though I would comment on that. If you watch the STO2446BU – VMware Virtual Volumes T... - My thoughts and observations on VMworld 2017
Another year, another VMworld in the books, this is number 10 for me (there have been 14 VMworld events total) and how fast the event flies by never changes. I’m posting this a little late this year as the old adage “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” didn’t hold true for...

This is cool. Every customer needs Data Protection for their VMware environment – local backup and recovery, and protection from disaster recovery.

IMO – this is one of the biggest announcements at VMworld this week. It is a major shift to the Dell Technologies strategic perspective, and important for our customers. It’s something we’ve been spending a lot of time on internally for a while – I’ve spent hours at end with Scott Yara and James...
