In everyday work in building environments based on vRealize Automation I have many tasks related to refining the environment, based on VMware documentation I decided to write a script to check and set the appropriate values on the environment. The script is in the develop phase but you can slowly use it in production environments. Here in the attachment you can see the script as well as the log that is created during hardening. vra-hardening hardening   also here you can see the document on the basis of which hardening was made, after collecting the most important information from the…

A few posts earlier you could read the script article that makes it easy to create all the required infrastructure elements in version 7.x. Now I decided to create a similar script to version 8 based on vSphere infrastructure. However, in the future I plan to modify the script as well as add other elements. At the very bottom you can find the current version of the script to download as well as the document that is used to create the infrastructure. first things first At the beginning I collect all required data about the token and install plugins and…

I am very happy and proud that my work for the community and promoting VMware has been appreciated for a rut, which results in me being the lucky owner of the vExpert2020 title Thank you vExpert Pro, Thank you Corey Romero

In the last article you could read how to create a simple / sample blueprint is working on the next article about blueprints but before publishing it I would like to show you how to configure Cloud Accounts. Although we associate vRealize mainly with VMware, from one console we can not only deploy VM on vCenter but also on AWS, GCP or Azure. Each of these clouds has their pros and cons, I decided to configure them all in my environment and try to test them, but in this article I will show you where to find the required data…

As you know from the previous post, my first book will be published soon. However, not everything could be in one book, so I will also add articles that you can read here. At first glance, something goes into which vRA was created. Automatic machine provisioning with a specific application. My environment is as follows:vCenter with two templates Windows and Linuxtwo customization files for Windows and Linux One vRA 8 with vCenter Endpoint and one Project. At the beginning I created a blueprint which contains one vsphere machine and one network also with vsphere. Blueprint looks in that way As…

VMworld 2019 was the first for me. From the very beginning, as soon as I entered the conference area, I was quite impressed but in turn. VMworld2019 took place between 4 and 7 November in Barcelona. This conference aims to gather people with the same passions as well as to allow a very large increase in their own knowledge and allow smaller IT companies to find solutions for themselves or to advertise. The whole conference consists of Workshops in which we have the opportunity to delve into a specific product, from thematic sessions, Hand on Lab where anyone can practice…

Recently, I devoted all the time to exploring the latest release of vReazlize, namely version 8. In my opinion, an interesting project related to this product is being created, but not for long. However, this article will still be about version 7.x. Every day, each of us must check whether vRA is working, whether we have the option of deployment or in a moment we can expect P1 in our queue. To make checking easier, a very simple script based on Python and REST API has been created which checks all our services. The Scrips is checking if VM is…

In daily basis I’m working as a build engineer and we required from customer few details about Build Infra, so I’ve create a document for this with description and required information from Build perspective and simple automation script for ReservationPolicy, Reservation and Network Profiles as this taking more time in build phase then other tasks. To use vRA-API you need infomation in DCD-Build document and change vRA-API from txt to py as my blog not allow attach Python files.

In my previous post I’ve described how to create Kubernetes cluster manually, today I wanna show you how to do this using PKS and vRealize. PKS or actually VMware Enterprise PKS formerly known as Pivotal Container Service it is a product which simplify deploy K8s cluster. However, before we start creating clusters, we must prepare the infrastructure Ops Manager For deploy OPS manager we are using OVA provided on Pivotal web page https://network.pivotal.io/products/ops-manager we have there many images but in this case we download Ops for vsphere The deployment process is quite easy only one thing we should remember to…
