A Podcast for IT – Getting Started with Automation
This week in A Podcast for IT we have made a first podcast touching on the topic of automation, one of the fundamental pillars in the optimization of the service that we can provide from IT.
This week in A Podcast for IT we have made a first podcast touching on the topic of automation, one of the fundamental pillars in the optimization of the service that we can provide from IT.
This week if you haven't heard, in a Podcast For YOU, we have a fabulous podcast! We have the honor of receiving a great guest such as Ariel Sánchez Mora, and in a pleasant talk he will tell us what it is to be a TAM, We'll talk about the community, what that is and all this under his experience in this IT world.
This week we bring a fundamental chapter for all of us who work with the VMware vSphere part, So if that's your case, We think it might be interesting for you to listen to it, It can be interesting to listen to 75 good practices and see how they apply in your environment. A podcast 100% where we go down to the Barrillo!
Today's podcast is exciting, On this occasion we will talk about something crucial in our sector, being properly trained, We will see the options we have depending on the path we want to choose, We will talk about official certifications, that we know many times have their importance. That need to be constantly updated in order to execute the right decisions where we provide service.
This atypical post aims to explain a project in which I have had the pleasure of participating, something in which I believe we all benefit, since we have managed to bring together a good group of vExperts and LATAM bloggers to produce the best virtualization book you can find, called VMware by vExperts. Totally free and where thanks to the sponsors we have managed to raise a lot for 2 NGO projects.
If we want to provide full high availability to a virtual machine, we will enable Fault Tolerance or FT. With FT we will be able to allow a VM in the event of a failure of a host or the storage where it is executed to fall, Don't worry., since the VM is replicated to another host and another datastore. The magic of FT will cause us to only lose a single packet against the VM!
If we want to protect our vCenter Server service, that we know every day is more important; we will be able to take advantage of one of the new features of vSphere 6.5, what is having the vCSA appliance in high availability. In this document, all the steps required to deploy and have HA-protected vCenter Server with VMware vCenter Server High Availability.
Moving on to vSphere Docs 6.5, today we will look at Host Profiles, We'll use them to try to keep our hosts' configuration as similar as possible! We will create a profile based on a model host, and then apply that profile to all hosts in the cluster, With this we will be able to check if all the hosts have the same configuration or if there is a different configuration or that we have forgotten to apply... We will see in this document how to create such a reference profile and we will display it!
Something interesting when we are interested in being a little tidy and we want to have a repository with our OVF images, ISO or virtual machine templates... are Content Libraries. Which are nothing more than spaces where we will leave said content and we can access it from anywhere, This way our entire department will always use the same images and we will avoid leaving traces through the datastores as we have been doing until now.
Continuing with the series of posts on vSphere 6.5, in this document we will be able to see another of the novelties that VMware vSphere brought us with its version 6.5, which is nothing more than the possibility of backing up our vCenter Server! In this post, we'll look at how to set up your backup and make backups and we'll also look at how to recover a vCenter Server Appliance if necessary! I hope you enjoy it!
