So first let me say I don’t normally do this, I’ve used this blog entirely on educating folks about the amazing automation stack that VMware has enabled both for traditional IT and the new cloud native world. Today I felt it was worth sharing a very personal experience and decision that has been tough for me. I also see this as an opportunity to spread my wings on this blog and hopefully you’ll enjoy some of the new topics as much as my previous ones!

Thankfully it has stood the stand of time through the last 2 years of vRA 6. Now that vRA 7 is here and more importantly the Event Broker, it’s time to document an updated workflow.

Photon OS the OVA
You have seen me post about Photon OS in the past and now that TP2 has been around almost 2 months, I’ve been playing around with different aspects.
