I am doing a write-up about how to load balance VMware Cloud Director (VCD) cells (3) and console/proxy traffic with VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (NSX ALB / AVI). Hopefully, this will enable someone to successfully implement NSX ALB as a Load Balancer solution for non-tenant VCD traffic.
It might be a no brainer, but I think this post will save some time for people if they are using the google search engine well. It took me too much time to figure this out for such a simple thing as this.
On the 29th of October 2020 the yearly #vNSTechCon was held. Due to Covid-19 regulations this event was for the first time a virtual one.
The vNSTechCon is an event dedicated to VMware related Networking & Security and the surrounding ecosystem within the Netherlands. The event is community-driven where gaining knowledge and networking are the main goals.
My presentation about NSX-T with different scenarios for multisite has been recorded and can be watched below.
In this session Wesley will show you the different options you have in setting up a multisite data center with NSX-T. How do you set up an active-active or active-passive topology, and what you can do with disaster recovery. Wesley also gives a brief overview of a new feature within NSX-T 3.0; NSX-T data center federation.
Yesterday I had an issue with my NSX-T 3.0.1 deployment in my lab. I was not able to resolve the issue, so I had to recover NSX from backup. Luckily I was making backups every day. So, it would not be hard te recover right? Well, think again if you are running NSX-T 3.x and you have deployed your Solution with custom certificates in a prior NSX-T version.
In the last blog post I wrote about my VCDX Journey I was in the week before submitting my actual complete VCDX submission kit. A lot happened since then, which finally resulted in the number I was striving for so hard! For me it has become number #290.
