That’s a nice email to find in your inbox! #vexpert

I had the opportunity to spend some time in my happy place in the Homelab - VCF Automation / VMware Aria Automation / VMware vRealize Automation. I was making some cloud templates when I stumbled on a tiny issue. #Automation #VMware #vExpert #Homelab #IaC buff.ly/40x26gP

It’s SSL everywhere in my Homelab. But how do you handle trust in vSphere Supervisor? #vSphere #Supervisor #VMware #vExpert #Kubernetes #TLS #SSL #Homelab #Airgapped buff.ly/3YTgbDO

SSL everywhere, and secrets in Vault. That’s how I like to run my Homelab. #Vault #HashiCorp #Kubernetes #Homelab #VKS #vExpert buff.ly/4hADr0P

For my own understanding I put together some diagrams to understand Kubernetes in vSphere. I've now expanded them into a short article to explain what vSphere Supervisor and VKS are. #VMware #vSphere #Supervisor #VKS #Kubernetes #vExpert #Homelab buff.ly/4hsxdAh

@virtualhobbit I’ll be writing it up on my blog in due course 😁

The only time I can get @mpoore to swear (curse for you Americans) is when he cracks a problem we've both been working on in the lab together! 😂 #vExpert #lab #homelab #IsItReallyAHomelabThough

I made a thing... Introducing the Packer Provisioner for Salt mpoore.io/posts/2024/int… #vmware #tanzu #salt #vexpert #hashicorp #packer

Just met a #VCDX in the restaurant I’m in. Small world!!

@virtualhobbit @AWS @HashiCorp Pretty sure my KMS isn't costing that much. Check how many keys you have.

I currently use two services in @aws routinely: S3 for my offsite Kasten backups, and the KMS for unlocking my @hashicorp Vault cluster. This month: S3, $0.42 KMS: $43.16!!!! I think I need to host a Vault in @mpoore's lab and use that to unlock it 😂 #homelab #isitthough

Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery - What is it? mpoore.io/posts/2024/com…

Rim Tim Dagi Dim - that’ll be stuck in my head for a while.

I haven’t laughed that much in ages! Well done Finland 🤣

@JoeBaguley We also saw Bottas’ bottom!

Pretty sure I just saw Bottas enter Eurovision for Finland.

Looking forward to experimenting!

@MichaelCade1 Java or Bedrock?

I have an Easter half term project. To move the Minecraft server from the VMware home lab to the cloud

@MichaelCade1 Explore is, for sure. Not sure about HC yet.

@mpoore Ah yes. I am hoping for HashiConf and maybe Broadcom world if they are on your list.

A merry Tuesday to all, I have 185 emails I have to deal with before I get into more fun things. How is your day starting/going?

@MichaelCade1 I went through one the other week. Sooooo much easier!

This is a game changer for speed through T5 security. If you are not wearing a belt it’s basically walk through.

@thecloudxpert @markwilsonit @home_assistant Really notice the difference when I step out of the house!

@markwilsonit @home_assistant I need to get another pi so I can run pi hole and Home assistant… maybe I need 2
