This paper discusses best practices for running Enterprise Java Applications on VMware vSphere virtual machines. The guidelines will help you to get the best from your Java applications and application servers when you run them on VMware vSphere.

Architectural Best Practices for Enterprise Java Applications running on vSphere and best Practices for Enterprise Java.

Applications running on vSphere. The following topics are overviewed:

• Design and sizing of VMs,
• Guest OS recommendations,
• Fine-tuning of CPU, memory, storage, networking,
• Useful JVM (Java Virtual Machine) tuning parameters,
• Various high availability features in vSphere ESXi host clusters,
• Resource pools (horizontal scalability and vertical scalability),
• VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS).

Migration Coordinator is a tool that's built into VMware NSX-T that enables migrating from NSX for vSphere (NSX-V) to NSX-T in-place.  That is, using the same hardware that NSX-V is running on. This VoD is a short demo on how to use the Migration Coordinator.

So what‘s New with Fusion 20H1 Tech Preview?

Project Nautilus - Running containers directly with VMware Fusion

VMware Fusion 20H1 Tech Preview now enables native container runtime support. A built-in command line interface "vctl" for running containers is provided for containerized application developers. You can run container images directly with vctl provided by Fusion, pull an image from remote repository and push a local image to remote repository.

USB KEXT removal

The Fusions Team has reorganized the USB Passthrough stack and it doesn't rely on a kernel extension to capture USB devices from the MacOS host anymore. Please visit VMware Fusion Tech Preview community, download the build and provide feedback. They would love to learn about how Fusion can further improve to help your container applications development and your ideas about what we should do next. Also, they would like to know if you have any problems using your USB devices.
