The Challenge of DevOps
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in this area, this is just a blog over difficulties and conflicts created in the search for DevOps.

More HomeLab Pitfalls
This is going to be another one of those blogs of the pitfalls I’ve ran into. I really want to get into how to fix specific errors and troubleshooting. However, since I’m trying my hardest to get this lab setup to dig into the new releases that came out a couple weeks ago, VUM –…

HomeLab Rookie – Networking Mis-steps-stakes

VRealize Deployments: Part One, Active Directory Policy
So this is a blog series on how to setup and create quick deployments for self-service users in vRealize Automation. This is mostly built-in automation with minimal custom creations. This is pretty basic, but I wanted to start there and grow. I guess in that light I need to go over licensing and the architecture…
