Phew, what a Year. So many changes in my professional career, many new blog post released and so much fun with VMware community.

Hello, VMware fans!

VMworld EU 2018 is past us. Again VMware recorded all sessions and allows us watching videos on their website. In this post, you will find out how to download VMworld 2018 EU sessions.

As you’ve heard on the new Windows Server 2019 is coming. It has many new features but I like the most so-called Project Honolulu. It is in the simple words a new way of managing Windows Server using the browser.

I am quite busy with keeping my Homelab up to date and I faced strange issue with upgrading vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 to 6.7. The fix is rather easy but let’s identify the issues first.

Two days ago VMware announced a Sub-Program called vExpert PRO. I was selected as the “local” vExpert PRO from Poland.

What is the vExpert PRO program?

vExpert PRO is a program which is focused on recruiting, mentoring and support a new vExperts from each particular region.

I recently had to rebuild homelab due to the SSD disk failure. I had backups but the initial setup wasn’t optimal. I decided to rebuild it from scratch.

Quite a neat feature of modern backup solutions is a possibility to send “offsite” backup copies to the cloud. Many Public Cloud providers offer very affordable storage solutions. In this post, we will send VMware backups to the cloud using Altaro Offsite Copies to an Azure Cloud Storage. Altaro offers this option using Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Hello, VMware fans!

vSphere 6.7 was released a few months ago but recently I finally found a few minutes of time to upgrade my Homelab to vSphere 6.7.
