Last week I was getting stickers from the Ubuntu booth during the Open Infrastructure Conference in Denver. I asked a sorta dumb question, since this was a so new to me. My very first Open Infra Conference (formerly OpenStack Summit). I was asking a lot of questions. I saw a sticker for MicroK8s (Micro-KATES). Me: […]

Namespace Issues when Removing CRD/Operators
With the latest release of Pure Service Orchestrator, we added support for a non-Helm installation for environments that do not allow Helm. This new method uses an Operator to setup and install PSO. The result is the same exact functionality but uses a security model more agreeable to some K8s distro vendors. I do live […]
What’s New in Pure Service Orchestrator?
This week (April 16, 2019), Pure released the 2.4.0 version of the Pure Service Orchestator for Kubernetes. This inlcuded: (from the release notes) PSO Operator is now the preferred install method for PSO on OpenShift 3.11 and higher versions.The PSO Operator packages and deploys the Pure Service Orchestrator (PSO) on OpenShift for dynamic provisioning of persistent […]
It is “NFSEndPoint”
I think I have updated my blog post and PSO guide to reflect this change. In case you are using Pure Service Orchestrator with FlashBlade. The original yaml for the arrays when installing PSO was “NfsEndPoint”. At somepoint, it was fixed to expect “NFSEndPoint” matching the proper name for NFS. I never updated my blog […]
Another Kickoff and a New Year
November 2018 was my the finish of my 5th year at Pure. I really meant to write up a recap but let’s just say November and December were super busy. I was in Barcelona for VMworld EMEA the beginning of November, then came home to visit more customers around the US and tell them about […]
New Pure Service Orchestrator Demo
You may want to make this full screen to see all the CLI glory. What you will see in this demo is the initial install of Pure Service Orchestrator on a upstream version of Kubernetes. Then by running the ‘helm upgrade’ command I can add a FlashArray to scale the environment and take advantage of […]

Pure Service Orchestrator Guide
Over the last few months I have been compiling information that I have used to help customers when it comes to PSO. Using Helm and PSO is very simple, but with so many different ways to setup K8s right now it can require a broad knowledge of how plugins work. I will add new samples […]
Kubernetes on VMware vSphere Demo and more
This post is a recap of my session at VMworld last week in Las Vegas. First, due to lighting, the demo was no very easily viewable. I am really disappointed this happened. I posted the full demo here on youtube: All of the scripts and instructions are available here on my github repo. https://github.com/2vcps/vmworld2018_vin3762bus Coming up next […]
Storage Quotas in Kubernetes
One thing since we released Pure Service Orchestrator I get asked is, “How do we control how much developer/user can deploy?” I played around with some of the settings from the K8s documentation for quotas and limits. I uploaded these into my gists on GitHub. git clone git@gist.github.com:d0fba9495975c29896b98531b04badfd.git #create the namespace as a cluster-admin kubectl create -f […]
