News on, once, simply VMware, and now VMware by Broadcom

Underneath the cut are all sorts of things that are not relevant for the Russian Federation.

Found:
Administration of VMware vSphere 5 – the book, published in 2012, should have become outdated, but it is still an absolute must read for those who want to get acquainted with the subject, but are not ready to read a lot, and exclusively in English.

Classic series “for beginners”:
A book for an evening or two from 2017, free, vSphere 6.5 Host Resources
And from the same author, but from 2018 – VMware vSphere 6.7 Clustering
This series also includes a simple manual from 8 years ago – Vsphere HA fundamental concepts,
And the manual is a little thicker, VMware vSAN 6.7 U1 and its update – VMware vSAN 7.0 U3by the way, it’s available almost free
The top five “books for beginners” is completed by a book about storage, Khalil, Mostafa. Storage Design and Implementation in vSphere 6: A Technology Deep Dive. 2nd ed. Indianapolis: VMware,. 2017.

Another not-so-old one was found:
vMotion Innovations in VMware vSphere7.0 U1 Performance Study – September 24, 2020, but it is better to read this text in continuation, What's New in vSphere 8 for vMotion?

We found boring official books with almost no pictures –
vSAN 7.0 Planning and Deployment Update 1, Update 2, Update 3
vSAN 8.0 Planning and Deployment Update 3 (free on the official website)
vSAN 7.0 Network Design Update 3
vSAN 8.0 Network Design Update 3 (also free)

Regarding the operation of the file system, Reverse Engineering Virtual Machine File System 6 (VMFS 6) surfaced from somewhere, and regarding the operation of the clock, it was lost in time
Timekeeping in VMware Virtual Machines, which you can read instead Timekeeping within ESXi or Timekeeping best practices for Linux guests.

For automation I found a very, very old one
VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference: Automating vSphere Administration, 2nd Edition from 2015, but here you can start with a simpler one VMware PowerCLI User's Guide

There’s nothing new in metro construction either – it’s still the same VMware vSphere Metro Storage Cluster Recommended Practices

There are no changes in setting up individual applications:
Architecting microsoft sql server on vmware vsphere
Virtualizing Active Directory Domain Services on VMware vSphere
Microsoft Exchange Server on VMware vSphere (Exchange Server 2019 / vSphere 7.0)

Then I found an old but good VMware Certified Professional Data Center Virtualization on vSphere 6.7 Study Guide: Exam 2V0-21.19 (there is an introductory fragment), although there is also a free one VCP-DCV vSphere 8 Study Guide from NAKIVOon reddit they report about VMware VCP-DCV 2023 Study Guide and more.

They apparently threw it out of some storage room, and I picked it up –
VMware vSphere Install, Configure and Manage v70 included
EDU-EN-VSICM7-LECT (4/2020) and
EDU-EN-VSICM67-LAB (4/2020)
VMware vSphere Optimize and Scale v70 included
EDU-EN-VSOS67-LAB (4/2020) and
EDU-EN-VSOS7-LECT (4/2020)

As they say, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. He who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and he who knocks, the door will be opened to him.

In this regard, I would once again like to express special gratitude to those who helped at one time (a very long time ago) to look at Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ I HK902S and Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ II HK904S, I can still recommend them.

They say there is more VMware Tanzu Mission Control Management and Operations 2022but I don’t have it, and I haven’t looked for it.

Continuation, traditionally, on Pikabu and in my telegram channel, those who want to talk about the successes of import substitution – in the comments.
