GitHut, VMware 8, Kubernetes Containers, Python, Perl, PowerShell, RHEL 8 stuff

I am currently upgrading the EOS/EOL Netapp and 3PAR arrays and Cohesity Backup appliances to NetApp Storage Grid v.11.8.2 in parallel with a fully populated PowerFlex 4.0.3b HCI.

ALL THINGS HYPERCONVERAGED EMC & CISCO UCS

ALL THINGS STORAGE!

I am presently migrating legacy file-based “spinning disk” storage arrays to an all-flash storage array in a HCI [DELL V670F with INTEGRATED HCI SYSTEM SOFTWARE] which also has Amazon S3 services via VMware v.7.1.b built-in API.

Senior Netapp Storage SME OnTap v.9.4 and VMware vCenter v.7.0 U1 migration from v.6.0.0 Build 6855238 with automated VRO/VRA roll-out for Windows 2K19, Win 10 Pro VDI, and Kubernetes / Ansible Tower installation of RHEL v.7 & v.8 upon NETAPP AFF A220 duel controller in Metro Mode Configuration & replication.

Getting ready for the Information onslaught of DATA!

Immersive VMware SME + Storage!
