  • Taking a New Challenge: Cloud Native Apps (Whatever That Means)

    calendar Oct 22, 2015 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Two years ago I joined the VMware Cloud Services Business Unit working on vCloud Air because I sensed there was a shift going on in the industry. I referred to that change as a growing personal interest to learn more about how to consume IT Vs. how to build IT. I still very much stand behind that statement as I think, …

  • Fog.io and vCloud Air

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    In the last few weeks I have seen some discussions and requests around using fog.io ("The Ruby cloud services library") in the context of vCloud Air. The short story is that it works just fine. The long story is below. If you are reading this post you may be interested in this combo (fog and vCloud Air) so I …

  • Yet Another CLI (not) – vcautils

    calendar Sep 9, 2015 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    In the last year or so I have focused primarily on vCloud Air API and Automation. As a mere exercise I have been working on some code that I am making available today: https://github.com/mreferre/vcautils. In the README on Github you can read everything about it, so I am not going to repeat myself (too much) in this …

  • (IaaS) Cloud Outages: Get Over It

    calendar Jun 24, 2015 · 8 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    I have just heard of a massive outage that a localized IaaS Cloud Service Provider is experiencing: they have been down (at the time I am drafting this short blog post) 4 days and counting. When I get to publish this it may be they have been down 4 days or... god knows. Apparently the issue was due to a firmware bug in …

  • What do Cloud Native Applications Have to do with Cloud?

    calendar Mar 10, 2015 · 7 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    A few weeks ago I wrote a post whose title was Cloud Native Applications (for Dummies). While I don't want to claim that that was my masterpiece, I have received some positive feedbacks about it. So let's say we all agree on how a 'Cloud Native Applications' looks (or should look) like. There are two major events that …

  • Cloud Native Applications (for Dummies)

    calendar Dec 10, 2014 · 13 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    There have been attempts lately to describe "modern applications" or "modern workloads". A good attempt is The Twelve-Factor App. It's a great way to describe such workloads but I think those concepts would need to be dumbed down an order of magnitude to get the average Joe to digest them properly. …

  • The Dark Age in Front of Us: a Reality Check of mid 2014

    calendar Sep 10, 2014 · 7 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    As I draft this blog post on my way back from VMworld 2014, I have mixed sentiments to share. I spent my IT career (roughly 20 years) on a finite number of technologies that I ended up specializing in (somehow). It has been a progression that looks like this: Unix (briefly), Microsoft and, eventually, VMware. What …

  • Docker on vCHS (with 2 API Calls)

    calendar Jul 10, 2014 · 9 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    In this article I am going to show how you can start using Docker on top of the VMware vCloud Hybrid Service. I am going to show you how to do that in different ways so that you can choose your own method based on the mechanisms you are more familiar with (e.g. UIs or APIs). Docker is getting so much buzz these days …

  • Guest OS Customization in vCHS

    calendar Jun 19, 2014 · 12 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    As I was taking notes with some vCHS workload deployment experiments I thought I'd turn them in a blog post. This is more for me to find it easily in 2 months when I will have forgotten pretty much everything I found. If you are interested in the matter of guest OS customization options in vCHS read on, but I can't …

  • Is AWS Slowing Down Due to Lack of Demand Rather Than Lack of Ideas?

    calendar May 29, 2014 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    I was surfing the web (as usual) a few days ago and an AWS presentation I spotted on SlideShare got my attention. Before I even begin, remember I (currently) work for VMware. I always try, on this blog, to be as open as possible and talk freely about what I really think. However feel free to turn on your bias filter if …
