I wrote some automation to fully deploy #Kubernetes clusters on vSphere with Packer & Ansible - would love some volunteers to test & provide feedback - https://t.co/MUF1fB8y9y

https://t.co/nRD43MF58s Finally moved my site - still a work in progress but happy how it's going, why I ditched a CMS for a static generator

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Thanks to @vCommunityGuy and the VMware team for having me back for the 10th year! #vExpert #longlivevcd

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Need an easy way to deploy Cassandra clusters for VCD metrics? I wrote a thing for that... https://t.co/szH67uW9fj and associated github repo @vExpert #longliveVCD

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Absolutely stoked to find out this morning I've been accepted for the 9th year running to the VMware @vExpert programme. Congratulations to all the new and returning vExperts!

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Should I feel bad for wondering how many UK PMs it is until Christmas?

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

How cool is that? Great @vexpert gift - huge thanks @FlexPod and the vExpert team #VMwareExplore

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@DemitasseNZ @theronconrey I'll come buy you a beer, what time you going - or there already?

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

On my way to #VMwareExplore and love that feeling when the gate staff confirm a pending upgrade!

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Can't wait to get to VMware Explore in San Francisco, here are some of my tips for getting the most out of the event: https://t.co/nMFQdsD0Ap #VMwareExplore #vExpert #vmware

I needed to drive deployment of some vRealize Automation blueprints from PowerShell scripts and after figuring it out wrote up a blog post in case its useful to anyone else: https://t.co/8vWcPa9Dcq #VMware @vExpert @vRealizeAuto

@ahidalgosre My first boss (in the early 90s) had just installed the first UPS in our server room. He was extremely proud of it and told me to pull the power cord. Unfortunately I pulled the cord from the UPS to Server and not UPS to power outlet...

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Apologies that my blog site is down currently, apparently Oracle OCI "unintentionally relaimed" public IPs from some VMs. You couldn't make this stuff up, maybe time to look for another hosting option...😡

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@buzzyNZ Luckily this is pre-fish - they're still all in their 'moving' tank awaiting the big day when the big tank is cycled to move back home

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

Feeling pretty stupid today, been trying to get fish tank cycled for the last ~8 weeks, couldn't figure out why it was taking so long. Had a revelation last night - I turned off the pump & heater a few weeks back during house rewiring and forgot to turn them back on... D'oh

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@donkojott Managed to get some testing done today and seeing some major issues with 10.3.x still due to API path/call changes - will have to spend some more time on this...

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@donkojott Got a new version up on my github at https://t.co/WBTrNWUX4i - need to finish testing before I push the update to PowerShell Gallery but feel free to update from here if you want to help testing...

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@MaxdeTech I still use remote editing against Photon OS from VSCode, but not generally in Azure. Haven't tried with the new R2 version of Photon OS 4 yet though.

[Jon Waite @jondwaite]

@field_hamster @qamcom Congratulations! and best of luck (not that you'll need it), and thanks for all the work at CCL, I know they'll miss you.
