I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend VMware Explore 2023 in Barcelona, marking my second in-person participation at this event. It was an immersive experience, uniting experts from diverse
Azure VMware Solution (AVS) is a cloud service offered by Microsoft Azure that allows organizations to run their VMware workloads natively on Azure. It’s essentially a way to migrate or
The most significant change introduced by Broadcom is not licensing, pricing, or even portfolio reduction. The real shift is that VMware Cloud Foundation is no longer optional in spirit, even
For years, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) was often perceived as “vSphere + vSAN + NSX sold together”. After Broadcom, that interpretation is no longer accurate. VCF has effectively become the
NSX-T is powerful – but not always necessary. In the right environment, it becomes the backbone of secure operations. In the wrong one, it can feel like extra complexity. NSX-T
NSX-T troubleshooting feels different because you’re often debugging policy decisions instead of physical links. A typical packet journey is: VM -> DFW -> Segment -> Tier-1 -> Tier-0 -> External
Tier-0 / Tier-1 routing is simple when you keep responsibilities clean: The moment you push too much app logic into Tier-0, troubleshooting and change control become painful. A strong design
A frequent NSX-T anti-pattern is rebuilding the exact VLAN design as segments: one segment per tier, per app, per environment, per whatever. It’s understandable – teams want familiarity. But NSX-T
Distributed Firewall (DFW) is powerful, but it becomes truly scalable only when you stop thinking in IPs. IP-based rules still work, but they don’t age well in dynamic environments: VMs
When people first hear about NSX-T, they usually think “overlay networking and firewalls”. That’s true, but incomplete. In real environments, NSX-T quickly becomes a control plane for how applications are
Managing firewall rules across different platforms can be a complex and error-prone task. If you’re migrating from VMware NSX-T to Azure, you may need to replicate the firewall rules defined
If you’re experiencing issues with the Layer-7 (L7) load balancer in NSX after an upgrade to version 4.1 or 4.2.1, you’re not alone. The issue where forms on websites behind
