This creates a centralised platform that end users can use to create and manage IT resources throughout their lifecycle, while administrators can measure and control the use of those resources, regardless of location and underlying technology.\nCloudBolt approaches hybrid cloud with a principled vendor-independent approach, so that the currently chosen technology can be reused in current IT practice, and adds powerful automation to the existing landscape.\nCloudBolt Software built this hybrid cloud platform after years of experience, proven through implementations in enterprise data centres of automation tools such as Loudcloud/Opsware/HP SA.\n","date":"2019-05-28","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/2019/05/28/aves-it-becomes-a-cloudbolt-partner/","section":"News","summary":"","title":"CloudBolt Partnership","type":"blog"},{"content":" After working with Kubernetes for about 1.5 years for various customers, the time has come for Aves IT to validate the Kubernetes knowledge by certifying its most experienced Kubernetes expert by taking the Kubernetes CKA exam.\nThe exam took about 24hrs of preparation, but this resulted in a well-earned passing grade!\nAves IT is glad to help you with your questions, challenges or projects regarding Kubernetes, either on-premises, at a cloud provider, or as a cloud managed service, such as Google Kubernetes Engine, Elastic Kubernetes Service from AWS or Azure Kubernetes Service from Microsoft.\n","date":"2019-04-10","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/2019/04/10/certified-kubernetes/","section":"News","summary":"","title":"Certified Kubernetes","type":"blog"},{"content":"About SURFnet.\nSURFnet ensures that researchers, instructors, and students can work together simply and effectively with the aid of ICT. It therefore promotes, develops, and operates a trusted, connecting ICT infrastructure that facilitates optimum use of the possibilities offered by ICT.\nAbout Aves IT.\nAves IT has over 20 years\u0026rsquo; experience in designing, securinges and, migratinges, designs, architects, integrates IT infrastructures and integration and orchestrates orchestration of applications in IT Infrastructures. We do this for fully owned, hybrid, cloud or multi-cloud based architectures.\nAves IT secures, migrates, designs, architects, integrates and orchestrates applications in IT Infrastructures. We do this for fully owned, hybrid, cloud or multi-cloud based architectures, with over 20 years of experience.\nInfrastructure services.\nIn 2014 SURFnet was approached by 6 universities of applied science who asked SURFnet to offer a broad set public IaaS services meeting a very strict set of (security, privacy and governance) requirements. As SURFnet did not have the skillsets available which were needed to develop this service, Nils Vogels from Aves IT was brought in (end 2015) as one of two architects who investigated the requirements and proposed that a Cloud Management Portal (CMP) was to be used to create the single pane of glass access to all providers needed to enable institutions to pursue a real multi-cloud strategy.\nA market analysis was undertaken to see which CMP\u0026rsquo;s would be able to meet the requirements drafted by the institutions. CloudBolt was quickly identified as one of the potential products, given the ability of CloudBolt to operate on-premises, with support for multi-tenancy and at the time 15 different cloud technologies. Nils helped draft the technical and functional requirements for the tender selecting the CMP, which was won by CloudBolt.\nNils has been given the responsibility to develop the CMP for SURFnet\u0026rsquo;s multi-tenant use and was able to have an initial version operational ready for production within three months\u0026rsquo; time, connecting initially two VMware based resource sets and preparing for many more cloud vendor technologies, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack. Nils quickly became the trusted technical advisor and integrator of the CMP, ensured all issues were dealt with quickly, gave trainings on the usage of the CMP, created roadmaps with feature enhancements and oversaw the tactical relation with CloudBolt, initiating, motivating and managing all requests for enhancements and bug fixes. Nils performed all these tasks in an unsupervised way, taking control of all these processes while keeping stakeholders informed.\nNils has the ability to explain technical issues in layman\u0026rsquo;s terms, is fully accepted as a peer by our highly technical network and identity management engineers and write reports on a tactical/strategic level while working completely unsupervised.\nNils has been instrumental for the success of the SURFcumulus services (insert link to English website?) and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any organization looking for an architect on cloud infrastructure services or setting up a CMP.\n","date":"2018-04-15","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/2018/04/15/testimonal-surfnet/","section":"News","summary":"","title":"Testimonal SURFnet","type":"blog"},{"content":"Trying to find out if you are vulnerable to Flip Feng Shui on your VMware platform?\nPowerCLI can tell you with a few commands.\nAs VMware tells us in KB 2097593, TPS is enabled under certain circumstances only in recent releases.\nSpecifically: if Mem.ShareForceSalting is 0, or if it is set to 1 and sched.mem.pshare.salt is not set, or if Mem.ShareForceSalting is set to 2, and sched.mem.pshare.salt or vc.uuid are not unique.\nSo how do we check this?\nFirst: Mem.ShareForceSalting.\nGet-VMHost|Get-AdvancedSetting -Name Mem.ShareForceSalting|ft Entity,Name,Value -AutoSize Second: sched.mem.pshare.salt.\nGet-VM|Get-AdvancedSetting -Name sched.mem.pshare.salt And lastly: vc.uuid.\nGet-VM|Get-AdvancedSetting -Name vc.uuid So, you are vulnerable to Flip Feng Shui if:\nMem.ShareForceSalting is set to 0 Mem.ShareForceSalting is set to 1 and sched.mem.pshare.salt is not set on every VM Mem.ShareForceSalting is set to 2, and sched.mem.pshare.salt is not absent or unique for every VM Mem.ShareForceSalting is set to 2 and vc.uuid is not absent or unique for every VM Good luck finding out!\n","date":"2016-08-12","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/2016/08/12/are-you-vulnerable-to-flip-feng-shui-powercli-tells-you/","section":"News","summary":"","title":"Are you vulnerable to Flip Feng Shui?

Automating ICT gives a predictable, reproducible result, because the tasks are clearly defined and a computer carries them out exactly that way.\nOrchestration is making sure that all those defined tasks run at the right moment in the right context, with tasks using dependencies to reach the correct result. Often this is still done by hand as well: we make sure there are two web servers, and that the load balancer knows about them. Nowadays this can be orchestrated just as well: at the push of a button, two web servers are created automatically, provided with the right website and registered in the load balancers.\nAt Aves IT we use two tools for this. For generic IT we like to demonstrate CloudBolt, a Cloud Management Portal with very extensive self-service features for end users and administrators.
