Amazon Elastic VMware Service is not automatically a cloud strategy. Sometimes it is a landing zone. Sometimes it is a disaster recovery target. Sometimes it is a practical way to avoid a data center deadline. Sometimes it is a temporary bridge while application teams decide what to modernize. And sometimes it is just a cloud […]

Amazon Elastic VMware Service is easy to describe incorrectly. The shallow description is “VMware on AWS.” That is directionally true, but it misses the operational point. Amazon EVS is not just a place to run virtual machines. It is a way to place a VMware Cloud Foundation environment inside an AWS operating boundary, with Amazon

AI placement decisions become more useful when they move from opinion to architecture criteria. The first article in this series focused on the core inputs: data gravity, latency, sovereignty, and cost. Those inputs explain why some AI workloads belong in managed cloud services, some belong close to local infrastructure, and some need a private AI

A virtual machine file lock issue rarely shows up at a convenient time. It usually appears when a VM refuses to power on, a consolidation task is stuck, a backup window has overrun, or vCenter and an ESXi host disagree about the VM’s state. That is exactly when bad habits get expensive. The temptation is

A purple screen on an ESXi host creates an immediate operational problem, but the bigger risk is what happens next. The first reaction is usually to get the host back online. That is understandable, especially when workloads are down, HA is recovering virtual machines, or a cluster is running hot after losing capacity. But if

A full /storage/log partition on a vCenter Server Appliance is not just a housekeeping problem. It is a management-plane risk. In a standalone vSphere environment, it can interrupt administration, log collection, patching, and service stability. In VMware Cloud Foundation, the blast radius is larger because vCenter is tied into SDDC Manager workflows, workload domain lifecycle

Certificate changes in vSphere environments rarely fail in only one place. The obvious place to look is the browser warning, the expired certificate alarm, or the service that recently had its Machine SSL certificate replaced. But in production VMware Cloud Foundation and vSphere environments, certificate changes can also break something less visible: the extension and

Raw Device Mappings tend to show up in the places where infrastructure history is still attached to the workload. A database server was moved from physical hardware years ago. A file server needed a very large LUN before VMDK limits improved. A clustered application depended on shared storage. A storage team wanted array-level tooling to
