Thinking, Building and Scripting Globally – a London VMUG presentation.
I have the privilege today of presenting at the London VMware User Group.
My presentation is split into two parts, first of all looking at why setting standards, creating processes and adding automation is now more important than ever as we work towards building an infrastructure for cloud computing.
I go through how “cloud thinking” is not just about the cloud being used to solve an IT problem but rather the cloud being a busines transformation to increase your business flexibility.
Your ESX(i) host build is the foundation of that cloud.
Then I head into the technical details of how to create a single PowerCLI script to build ESX or ESXi anywhere in your organisation. Using PowerCLI removes the dependency on any Service Console scripting so you can move towards an ESXi only infrastructure as that is the only hypervisor option for vSphere 5.
Having a single global script allows you to set standards and gives you way to reduce complexity & errors.
