Part 1 of this series discussed why a multi-account architecture has become the best practice for large organizations that consume AWS.

Backing up VMware Cloud on AWS with Veeam
One common misconception about Public Cloud is that things like backup and security are automatically taken care of for you. Most cloud providers operate under a shared responsibility model, meaning they provide only up to a certain level of responsibility for security, availability, data protection, etc. This means that cloud architects must plan for backup … Continue reading Backing up VMware Cloud on AWS with Veeam

NGINX: Deliver all the things…
This is a bit of a change for me in that I'm not writing about anything particular directly within this post.

VMC on AWS – HCX Private DNS Resolution
I stumbled upon a new update to the VMC on AWS service today.

VMC on AWS – No Compatible Subnets Found
It's been a good while since I've had a "tech tip" type of post, let alone one that is pretty short. I've gotten a good bit of hands on with VMC on AWS recently, with a whole lot more to come, so I'll probably have a good chance to get more of these out in … Continue reading VMC on AWS – No Compatible Subnets Found
Data Protection as a Service with Druva
My first experience with Druva was a number of years back when a customer purchased their product to backup all of the laptops for their remote workers. This customer had a lot of employees that were traveling all over the world and doing much of their work from hotels, airports, and various remote offices. While … Continue reading Data Protection as a Service with Druva
