vBrownBag Community at VMworld 2020

It seems that the community is still hard for vendors to include in their conferences & particularly the online replacement for their conferences. The community is my sole reason for going to almost every VMworld event since 2011, so I want to spend time with my community friends at VMworld 2020. With that in mind,

vBrownBag TechTalks Before and at VMworld

Our plans for TechTalks at VMworld 2020 are getting clearer. There will be a small number of TechTalks in the official VMware event, repeated in each of the three time zones. We will have quite a few more TechTalks than the VMworld team can accommodate, so we will also have a pre-VMworld event. On Monday

Build Day Live with NetApp HCI and Kubernetes

In the middle of September, we had another fun Build Day Live event. This time, we deployed the NetApp HCI platform and the NetApp Kubernetes on top of the HCI. Be sure to take a look at all of the videos from the Build Day Live with NetApp in Boulder as well as the event home page. We all enjoyed our time in Boulder, a beautiful central city with the Rocky Mountains rising up directly to the west of town. I have wanted to look at the process of deploying this HCI platform since I was convinced that HCI isn’t really about having the compute and storage cluster on the same servers. The NetApp HCI uses compute-only hypervisor hosts, and then shared storage using the scale-out Element storage OS from the SolidFire platform. Other HCI platforms use storage inside the hypervisor hosts, and so the storage cluster overlaps the compute cluster. With NetApp, there are two separate clusters, but the management is unified, it overlaps.
