tl;dr – ZeroVM is slick. Read about it here, then try it out in Vagrant/vmware here. ZeroVM is a Cloud, or even ‘process’ specific hypervisor. That is to say, it was designed from the ground up to be fast, disposable, and uniquely secure. We’ll get into each of those in a bit. ZeroVM was designed

Well, perhaps not all of it. However, the following is extremely useful if you’re working with Raspberry Pi in any way. In my case, I’m using it in conjunction with the rPI / OpenStack work I’ve been doing (here and here). That is, I am using it to test changes to the packages / repositories

Recently I was extended an opportunity to read and review “Troubleshooting vSphere Storage” by my friend, Mike Preston (@mwpreston | blog.mwpreston.net). [Amazon | Packt Publishing]
This book is based on vSphere 5.1 and only covers those features and the functionality available in the 5.1 thick client. (Personally, I felt the 5.1 web client was…full of opportunities for improvement), but the lack of web client related information doesn’t detract at all from the depth of technical knowledge that’s packed into this book. It weighs in at about 127 pages + index, and spares no time in jumping right in.

Recently I’ve embarked down a course to get OpenStack up and running on the Raspberry Pi. Before we get too deep into the particulars, let’s talk about why such a thing should be done. What could one gain by running OpenStack on the Pi? Who would use it? and more. For me, there are a
