With all the changes that have happened with VMware since the Broadcom acquisition I have been asked more and more about alternatives for running SQL Server.One of the options that has repeatedly cropped up is KubeVirtKubeVirt provides the ability to run virtual machines in Kubernetes…so essentially could provide an option to “lift and shift” VMs from VMware to a Kubernetes cluster.A bit of background on KubeVirt…it’s a CNCF project accepted in 2019 and moved to “incubating” maturity level in 2022…so it’s been around a while now. KubeVirt uses custom resources and controllers in order to create, deploy, and manage VMs…

In chaotic companies, stability creates relief. In stable ones, too much of it becomes a quiet obstacle.There is a word from my studies that describes what happens next: Reflektionsentlastet, which means “relieved of reflection.” It’s the state in which tasks…

When someone visits your website, their browser and your server exchange information back and forth. Without encryption, this conversation happens in plain text, meaning anyone monitoring the network could read everything: login credentials, personal messages, payment information, all of it.

That’s telling you the connection is encrypted and secure. For years, getting an SSL certificate meant paying a certificate authority annually and going through a tedious manual setup process. Then Let’s Encrypt came…

The intention is not to violate copyright or anything of the sort, but instead to learn the limitations and the power of AI. Instead, you will simply be learning about whether or not you can use AI to help you know how to create…
