VMware AppDefense is a new security solution that allows organizations to create least privilege environments around their applications running in virtualized or cloud systems, a key feature according to VMware’s senior vice president for security products, Tom Corn. Watch VMware’s Tom Corn illustrate how VMware AppDefense significantly enhances application security when working across clouds in this light board presentation.

Wade Holms and Geoff Wilmington discuss the release of the new VMware AppDefense for securing data centers.

Automating NSX for vSphere with PowerNSX has been written to cater to administrators and architects of an VMware NSX for vSphere environment. This book should serve as a primer for users with skillsets ranging from beginner to advanced. Some prior knowledge around the following topics will help readers. These topics include:

• Microsoft PowerShell: pipelines, variables, loops, scripting.
• VMware vSphere® PowerCLI™: basic vSphere administration.
• VMware NSX for vSphere: concepts and configuration specifics.

This course begins with the concept of software-defined datacenter, software-defined storage, and hyper-converged infrastructure, then reviews traditional vSphere’s storage solutions and introduces vSAN as a new addition to the solutions.

The course also discusses vSAN’s architecture, relationships between components and some basic concepts. This course explains the major vSAN technologies that fulfill workload requirements, and discusses the key features and common use cases of vSAN.

VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) is the powerful automation engine in VMware’s vRealize Cloud Management Platform (CMP). vRA is designed to automate not just applications and service delivery, but also the infrastructure ecosystem around them, resulting in an app-centric authoring, provisioning and lifecycle management solution.

A critical component of that infrastructure is a Networking and Security strategy that can meet the demands of new and existing applications while protecting enterprises against a modern threat.

This video presentation dives into application-centric networking and security solutions with vRealize Automation 7.3 and VMware NSX to make building, consuming, and lifecycle-managing networking and security a core function of service delivery.

DRS Dump Insight is a service portal where users can upload drmdump files and it provides a summary of the DRS run, with a breakup of all the possible moves along with the changes in ESX hosts resource consumption before and after DRS run.

Users can get answers to questions like:

• Why did DRS make a certain recommendation?
• Why is DRS not making any recommendations to balance my cluster?
• What recommendations did DRS drop due to cost/benefit analysis?
• Can I get all the recommendations made by DRS?

The portal also enables users to do What-If analysis on their DRS clusters with options like:

• Changing DRS Migration Threshold
• Dropping affinity/anti-affinity rules in the cluster
• Changing DRS advanced options
