New Pure Service Orchestrator Demo

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.

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.

Next step in learning helm is being able to take an existing helm package and put it in your own repo. There are ways to do this with github pages. I don’t really want mess withthat right now, how can I use a Github repo to host my changes to the deployment? For installing helm […]
Getting Started with Helm for K8s
Over the last few weeks I was setting up Kubernetes in the lab. One thing I quickly learned was managing and editing yaml files for deployments, services and persistent volume claims became confusing and hard. Even when I had things commited in github sometimes I would make edits then not push them then rebuild my […]
