My Friends keep suggesting that GCP is a cool thing. I trust them. So let’s do this. But how to start? I collected links and materials for you to understand how you can get your GCP exams done.
I have activated my GCP sandbox. Received an extra $100! Impressive welcome screen with offerings. The first service I am going to test is Migrate for Compute Engine API to better understand how to move complex workloads from VMware. How different sources such as Hyper-V (Azure Stack HCI) or KVM are supported?
I need to admit, I was lucky all my life. When relational DBs and Oracle SQL tuning was popular I was there. Later when virtualization came to our town, I was there. I learned how to run an entire region working at a US startup, quite self-driven. I enjoyed DIB in a global organization at Microsoft. What’s Next?
In the year 2019, I built an advanced VMware and Azure-based lab to teach my Microsoft colleagues on hybrid scenarios. I am working on a deployment of something similar and even more advanced these days to support testing migration tools and understand how workloads get into the Cloud.
VMware is not just a legacy source system with VMs to modernize, it is about understanding how a complex on-premises solution including cloud-native workloads (Tanzu) potentially lands in public cloud(s).
I have a bold career vision and I am happy to share with everyone interested in similar topics. Here is my learning path for 2022.
Upcoming blog articles and video interviews. I continue my research on cloud vendors, cloud migration companies, and potential VMware landing zones.
Before designing any cloud landing zone for (SMB) customers, you need to have a perfect understanding of what workloads you can expect at the source system.
This is based on a true and personal story. A friend Éva, is in trouble during the holidays, because her prem server has stopped on 23rd December.
This is a comparison; if the 10 years old server hardware can keep up with today’s desktop computers. The nested virtualized lab seemed better on the Desktop.
Storage is key, saying as ex. Virtana employee. If you want to build a fast and great lab, you need to understand your options in this area.
