Intelligent Automation with VMware

By: Ajit Pratap Kundan

Overview of this book

This book presents an introductory perspective on how machine learning plays an important role in a VMware environment. It offers a basic understanding of how to leverage machine learning primitives, along with a deeper look into integration with the VMware tools used for automation today. This book begins by highlighting how VMware addresses business issues related to its workforce, customers, and partners with emerging technologies such as machine learning to create new, intelligence-driven, end user experiences. You will learn how to apply machine learning techniques incorporated in VMware solutions for data center operations. You will go through management toolsets with a focus on machine learning techniques. At the end of the book, you will learn how the new vSphere Scale-Out edition can be used to ensure that HPC, big data performance, and other requirements can be met (either through development or by fine-tuning guidelines) with mainstream products.

LBaaS overview


Customers can use LBaaS by integrating it with NSX and the vRealize automation engine, which create a workflow to include applications requirements. They can also integrate with third-party tools with this service for automated deployment and monitoring of services. We have many options to design a load balancer as a service by using the VMware software-defined approach.

The load balancer must offload SSL to enhance performance and its output. A global load balancer has to fail over to application services between multiple data centers. It has to use the most productive load-balancing algorithm to increase the productivity of the application services. It can monitor the application services and generate alerts as soon as it finds any threats. 

VMware vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) assists us in building LBaaS by automating F5 virtual server deployments as per predefined workflows that contain parameters such as number of steps, virtual server addition associated with IP address...
