A Service mesh is a tool for managing and securing service to service communication in Kubernetes.
Right now it’s a technology very fragmented, with multiple implementations in the market from Google’s Istio that is the more popular, HashiCorp Consul, Linkerd and more.
Continue reading “Open Service Mesh”Tanzu Build Service uses Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs) to turn source code into OCI (Open Container Initiative) compatible container images, no manual compilation or Dockerfiles. This is something developers using CloudFoundry/PAS/TAS loved, and this bring this same experience to application running on Kubernetes.

Esta semana fue aprobado la creación Panamá VMUG, VMware User Group capÃtulo de Panamá, del cual con orgullo pertenezco al grupo de lÃderes.
VMUG es una comunidad muy fuerte, con 200+ comunidades a nivel mundial. Lamentablemente en Centro América por muchos años solo estaba la comunidad de nuestro hermano paÃs Costa Rica, pero en un esfuerzo de incrementar la presencia en otros paÃses, recientemente se han abierto nuevas comunidades, entre esta la de Panamá.
El objetivo de esta comunidad es impulsar el conocimiento de las tecnologÃas de VMware y sus relacionados, asà como incentivar la creación de contactos y el intercambio de conocimientos entre los profesionales y estudiantes sobre tecnologÃas como la virtualización y contenedores.
Por lo tanto los invito a unirse a la comunidad, pronto estaremos iniciando nuestra primera reunión (virtual debido a COVID-19). Pueden crear su cuenta de VMUG aquà y unirse a la comunidad de Panamá.
As promised I will try to share my experience with the Vmware Certified Master Specialist – 5V0-71.19. This is the first VMware exam that I do that don’t have an associated curriculum, and as this is also a new exam so I didn’t find any guide on how to get prepared. My hope is this helps somebody getting prepared for the exam.
Continue reading “Vmware Certified Master Specialist – Cloud Native – Certification Guide”I did it!, Yesterday I passed the exam. This was a challenging one, time almost ran out… there was some different topics that went to levels I was not expecting. I guess that is what you get when you do a Master level cert!
I will write my lessons learned so hopefully I can help someone trying to achieve this certification… keep you posted! Master Skill Unlocked!
Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes brings the development experience of Tanzu Application Service (formerly called Pivotal Application Service, and before that Pivotal CloudFoundry) to the Kubernetes container orchestrator. It includes the most important features of Tanzu Application Service, such as cf push for buildpack-based apps, while running both the system components and the application instances as Kubernetes workloads.
TAS for Kubernetes is something I have been trying to test for a while. It moved from alpha version to beta on the 14th of April, so it has been open for testing for more than a month now.
Continue reading “Deploying Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes on Kind”This week I had a call with a customer to discuss about how we can help them with their DevOps initiatives. I introduced to them the concepts of microservices, containers and Kubernetes, but at the end they where still struggling to understand how all the different technologies fit together.
I proposed to do a workshop and show them the whole process of placing an app in a container and running it in Kubernetes. But hey, that’s not they way the should be doing it a the end right? The whole idea of DevOps is to have an automated pipeline: to go from code, to container, to production automatically, using the concept of CI/CD – Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment.

Continue reading “VxRail 7.0 General Available to the Web!”
As vSphere evolves in functionality in terms of lifecycle management, even internally at Dell, I see confusion sometimes regarding the value of VxRail.
I started to hear about this since late 2018, when vSphere Update Manager (VUM) with vSphere 6.7 U1 started to also update drivers/firmware for the storage controllers for selected vendors, and now with vSphere 7.0 and the new vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) even the name makes things more confusing.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, these days have been hectic, for good or for bad during this pandemic situation, there’s a lot of work! Days full of Zoom calls are good to continue having that contact with our customers, but bad for blogging. 🙂
Nevertheless, I couldn’t wait to share my experience installing in my home lab Vmware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, that is GA since last Thursday 4/9/2020. I have to admit that I did my first tries installing it manually without using Cluster API / Cluster API Provider vSphere (CAPI/CAPV), and I was unsuccessful; but using now the TKG CLI it’s a breeze.
