🚀 New Blog Post Alert! We just published a deep dive into connectivity options between Hub-and-Spoke and Azure Virtual WAN—a must-read for anyone planning or executing a network architecture migration. 🔗 The blog outlines four practical interconnection strategies to support phased transitions and hybrid topologies: 1. Traffic hair-pinning using ExpressRoute 2. Virtual tunnels via SD-WAN or IPSec 3. vNet Peering + vHub coexistence 4. Transit vNet for decentralized workloads 💡 Whether you're designing for coexistence or full migration, this guide offers actionable insights to maintain performance, security, and operational continuity. 📘 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gtjyru28 🤝This article was a team effort—special thanks to my former NetSec GBB teammates for the many years of great collaboration: Bruce Cosden, Adam Torkar, Mays Algebary, Shruthi Nair, David Frazee, Adam Stuart, Daniele Gaiulli, Cynthia Treger, Amon Barge, Kevin Lopez, Marc de Droog, Nirmal Thewarathanthri, Kunal Bhatia, Shabbir Ahmed. 🤝Also, thank you to the Tech Strategy team for the valuable insights: Ethan Haslett, Mauricio Rojas, Rodrigo Reis, Jimmy Maysonet Avila, Recep Ozkurt and anyone else whose name I may have missed. #Azure #VirtualWAN #Networking #CloudArchitecture #HubAndSpoke #Migration #AzureNetworking #CloudStrategy #NetSecGBB

Here is a how-to blog on using the Argo CD Agent 0.4.1 with the OpenShift GitOps 1.18 operator for OpenShift users that want to try it out. As a reminder the Argo CD Agent is Technical Preview and not intended for Production workloads. However for customers interested in using it in the future it is well worth checking out now in a lab environment and providing feedback. I'm really excited about this technology, the OpenShift GitOps Engineering team along with the broader Argo CD community have done a really great job with the underlying architecture. https://lnkd.in/gYw_jyic

Case Study: From VMware to OpenShift Virtualization 🚀 When VMware’s pricing changes hit, one of our customers decided it was time to move on. Together, we migrated 2000+ VMs including: 🟢 Oracle databases 🟢 Existing OpenShift control plane & infra nodes 🟢 Business-critical applications All successfully consolidated into OpenShift; where containers and VMs run side by side on a single platform. The journey wasn’t without surprises, but the results speak for themselves: ✅ Reduced cost pressures ✅ Simplified operations ✅ Future-ready infrastructure This shift isn’t just a response to pricing it’s about gaining freedom and preparing for what’s next. 👉 Are you also seeing organizations rethink their virtualization strategy after VMware’s recent changes? We are also operating a secure, compliant, and sovereign public cloud built on the same technology

In this second episode of our ONTAP Tools for VMware (OTV) series, NetApp’s Chance Bingen walks you through the configuration of OTV in a #vSphere environment, from adding vCenters and storage backends to host compliance checks and integrated reporting. You’ll get a full tour of the OTV UI, including: - Host compliance wizard (NetApp best practices) - Storage backend details (vVols, NFS, iSCSI) - Data store and VM reports - NFS VAAI plugin deployment - REST API automation touchpoints Whether you're managing a single site or preparing for stretched clusters and NVMe over Fabrics, this video sets the stage for what's possible with OTV.

OpenShift BareMetal, unlimited possibilities! Red Hat OpenShift is one product but can be used under 4 subscription types: - OVE: OpenShift Virtualization Engine [ run virtual machines securely at scale ] - OKE: OpenShift Kubernetes Engine [ run containers and virtual machines securely at scale ] - OCP: OpenShift Container Platform [ run containers and virtual machine securely at scale with developer tools and application lifecycle management] - OPP: OpenShift Platform Plus [ Management and Security at Scale: OCP + RHACM + RHACS + Quay + ODF ] Key points: - All product types are available with a BareMetal subscription (covering socket-pairs up to 128 cores). - With OKE, OCP, and OPP, users can run unlimited guest RHEL VMs and unlimited guest OpenShift clusters of the same type, all still covered by the same BareMetal subscription. - The only exception: OVE, you can create unlimited VMs but you need to subscribe any guest workloads. For the techies, here’s the pseudocode BM_UNLIMITED_GUEST = ["OKE", "OCP", "OPP"] for product_type in BM_UNLIMITED_GUEST: allow Unlimited Guest Clusters of type product_type allow Unlimited Guest RHEL VMs in the the example shown in the attached media, You can create a BareMetal cluster on three physical servers, and then host a guest cluster of 9 nodes next to another single node cluster in addition to 3 RHEL VMs, all are covered by the subscription of the 3 BareMetal nodes. #redhat #openshift #ove #oke #ocp #opp #guest_clusters #guest_rhel

In my publication on the Google Cloud Architecture Center, I've explored the conceptual diagram below showcasing how different migration and modernization paths can be simultaneously applied to various workloads. This is key to addressing the unique business and technical requirements of each application – and yes, even components within the same application stack can follow different strategies!
