VCD RoundTable

In Ep. 41, the Roundtable is reporting live at Explore and discussing what is new – primarily with VCD and the future of VCF. Going forward, we can expect advancements in AI that will solve support tickets more efficiently, tools that can validate environments and aid migrations, and a more robust VCF 9 that has fewer restrictions and greater resource management – amongst its already impressive security capabilities. While Broadcom will always be driving innovation and introducing changes, there is a consistent vision that the Roundtable is very excited to see unfold and be a part of in the future.

In Ep. 40, the Roundtable discusses new features in VCF 5.2.1. Some new features include greater stability, and improved updating mechanisms that minimize disruptions. Amongst other changes, certificate and password management has also been moved from the SDDC manager to the vSphere client – simplifying security. We can expect updates that will retire Cloud Builder and move away from standalone products, and rather prioritize VCF 9. Watch the full podcast now for the complete list of updates and changes. #VMware #Broadcom #VCF

In Ep. 39 of the vCD Roundtable, our in-house expert, Alain Geenrits, covers Aria Operations and compliance reporting. He highlights Operations’ unique compliance-checking for PCI, ISO, CIS standards, and more. This is a base-level feature within Aria Operations that can alert you about what and how an object is non-compliant in your environment against industry compliance standards. Service providers can additionally use their own compliance certification as a quality label to customers. Watch or listen to the full podcast now to leverage this tool to save time, reduce costs, and tailor it to your needs. #VMware #Broadcom #AriaOperations #Compliance

In this episode, the comdivision experts explore how Aria Operations is evolving for cloud service providers. Learn from real customer stories about how Aria Operations improves multi-tenancy billing and chargeback with Aria Operations, and overcomes common industry challenges like security and compliance.

In Ep. 37 of the vCD Roundtable, we discuss integrations and updates to Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) since it's no longer included in VCF, licensing – especially ongoing challenges – around TKGm and AVI Load Balancer, and our recommendations to navigate these changes. For service providers, licensing has never been more important! For example, TKGs is unsupported in vSphere 8 update 3, which leaves TKGm as your primary option. Our suggestion? Use supported configurations for your environment and join us for our upcoming EMEA events this October in Frankfurt! #VMware #Broadcom #Tanzu #Avi #Licensing

VMware Explore Las Vegas has come and gone, but our review is here! In this Episode of the Roundtable, we discuss our experience and feelings surrounding the entirety of the conference. Additionally, we unpack some of Explore’s highlights and announcements, such as the release of VCF 9, upcoming VCF integrations, Tanzu 10, and improved functions to enhance stability, accessibility, and general use. We saw both the conference and Broadcom’s commitment to streamline and improve their products as promising! Watch here for more info, and we look forward to seeing you for VMware Explore Barcelona this November! #VMware #Broadcom #Explore #LasVegas2024

As VMware Explore Las Vegas nears, the Roundtable uses this Episode to inform you on what they’re expecting, possible changes, and comdivision events during the conference. This be the first Explore with Broadcom at the helm, advisory boards are back, and with a lot of great sessions, the Roundtable is hoping to learn about the future of VCF! Comdivision will also host a Customer Briefing Center, where you are invited to collaborate to address CSP challenges, share insights, and learn to monetize new services and licenses. Join us in person, August 28, as we record a live session of the Roundtable. We would love to see you there and let us know your expectations for Explore in the comments below! #VMware #Broadcom #Explore #LasVegas2024

With VMware Cloud Director 10.6 and recent NSX releases, both networking and ALB have undergone some enhancements. In this technical Episode, the Roundtable comes together to discuss networking updates, such as the ability to import a parent T0 into a VRF, which reduces the amount of edge transport nodes; a simplification in routing, and greater permission configuration and customization. ALB, which now goes under a simplified name, has greater integration that allows for a more personalized health monitor, environment atomization, and control over IP address assignment. The Roundtable spares no details and also examines what features that they would like to see implemented. Watch now to learn more! #VMware #Broadcom #VCD10.6 #Networking #ALB

The shift to Cloud Director 10.6 has brought significant changes to how Kubernetes can be leveraged by service providers. Complicating this, unclear communication has left the community uncertain about what to expect. TKGm is no longer supported, but temporary issues with the recent CSE 4.2.2 plugin are now resolved. This Episode unpacks everything we know, as we try to help you navigate these changes through workarounds and tips. Stay tuned for more on this topic and for Ep. 34, which will focus on new network features in VCD 10.6. #VMware#Broadcom #Kubernetes #CSE #Updates #TechInsights2024

With social media, understanding the difference between feedback and criticism is especially crucial. Feedback, often solicited, is constructive and aimed at growth, while critiques are judgmental and can stem from insecurity. Yves uses personal stories to highlight these differences and emphasizes the importance of reflecting on feedback. He also discusses key to navigate unconstructive criticism.
