Field notes from the cloud

We’re Bryan and Rudolf. We write up the problems we run into while building and running clouds, usually run on VMware by Broadcom. We work with VCF, vSphere, NSX, vSAN, VMware Cloud Director and Usage Meter. However we also work with vendors such as Veeam and Zerto and do cool stuff with PowerShell. We hope to help the next engineer who hits the same error to find the fix in minutes instead of hours.
