Some times you might need to create an isolated network, while still allowing that network to access the internet. Ubiquity UniFi offers the easy option of creating a guest network for this, but that limits traffic between the devices in the same network as well, which might not be desirable. My primary use case for creating an isolated network, is to provide my tenant with his own dedicated network, without exposing anything on my own home network — but I still want him to be able to connect his own devices to each other, if he wants to — or even replacing the AP with something else, should he choose to do so. Another use case might be to create a dedicated network for all of those IoT-devices that keep popping up, like Amazon Echo’s, Google Home and Chromecasts as well as Phillips Hue bridges etc.
If you want to go to VMworld US 2019 in San Francisco, and still don’t have a ticket, don’t despair. There is still time, as Veeam is giving away three full conference passes!
Back in late April I got notified that I had been accepted to attend the VMware Center for Advanced Learning Advanced Architecture Course, to be held in Paris, France July 9 - 19, 2019. Now that it is done, I find myself on a train from Paris to Nice, rocking out to Hüsker Dü contemplating just what it is that I have been a part of. First things first — this is not a class that can be taken lightly. You can not simply sign up for this, you have to be nominated and either work for VMware or a Partner to be taken into consideration to be accepted.
I’ve recently standardized on Ubiquiti equipment in the new house, and so far I am very happy with it. Wireless is working flawlessly, which is more than I could say for my old setup. A part of the new setup is a UniFi® Security Gateway (USG) that I am using as my gateway/firewall for my fiber connection, so I thought why not use that a my VPN termination as well?
Top vBlog 2018 Results: I am very happy to see that the site is still ranked in the top 25, clocking in at a very respectable 22nd place, and that also puts it into the 7th spot in the Independant Blogger category!
A few months ago I migrated this site from Wordpress to Hugo, hosted by Netlify, and I have been very happy with it since. As mentioned in the previous post, I utilize webhooks from Netlify to send alerts to Slack whenever a new build is triggered.
The top vBlog 2018 voting has opened, time to go rock the vote and show your favorite bloggers some love for their hard work and dedication.
My good friend, and colleague, Eirik Vada was interviewed by Ather Beg, the NSX Roving Reporter, during VMworld 2018. Since he doesn’t toot his own horn, I decided to do it for him!
Headshot-as-a-Service was a success, but I have to say it didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted. Finding a proper location was hard, getting the lighting right (which I don’t think I did) and without any advertising except my own blog posts and tweets, the turnout wasn’t quite what I had expected. If I’m doing this again, there are some things that needs to be changed in both execution and setup.
Hot on the heels of VMworld Europe 2018, Veeam is hosting its annual virtual conference on december 5th. Just like last year, I will be part of the panel in the Expert Lounge!
