Installing VMware vSAN: A Practical Guide Setting up VMware vSAN isn’t complicated once you understand what it’s doing. At its core, vSAN turns the local storage of your ESXi hosts into a shared storage pool — so your virtual machines can use it just like a traditional SAN, but without the external hardware. If you already have a vSphere environment running, installing vSAN is really just about enabling and configuring it correctly. Step 1: Check the Basics Before you start, make sure your environment meets the essentials: Three or more...

Let’s be honest — not everything can move to containers overnight. Most IT environments still have a mix of modern, cloud-native apps and older systems that run perfectly fine on virtual machines. That’s where KubeVirt comes in. KubeVirt is an open-source project that brings virtualization into Kubernetes. In simple terms, it lets you run and manage virtual machines (VMs) inside a Kubernetes cluster. You can use the same Kubernetes tools, the same API, and the same workflows — but now they also work for your VMs. Why does this matter?...
