vSphere with Tanzu using Intel Arc GPU

01.26.2023 by William Lam // 1 Comment

After successfully passing through the new Intel Arc 750/770 GPU to both a Linux and Windows VM running on ESXi, which also includes keyboard/mouse access and video output to an external monitor, I wanted to see if our vSphere with Tanzu solution could also take advantage of the new Intel Arc GPU?


The answer is absolutely YES! 😀

In vSphere 7.0 Update 3 MP01 and later, vSphere with Tanzu introduced the support for adding a Dynamic DirectPath I/O device to a VM that is provisioned using the VM Service Operator. Before we can take advantage of the new Dynamic DirectPath I/O feature, we first need to create a new custom VM Class definition that maps to our Intel Arc GPU.

Automated enablement of vSphere with Tanzu using vSphere Zones in vSphere 8

10.18.2022 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

vSphere Zones is just one of the the many exciting new Tanzu capabilities that is now part of vSphere 8. My buddy Cormac Hogan did a nice write-up on vSphere Zones, which I highly recommend folks check it out get more details.

This blog post will focus on using the new vCenter Server REST API to enable vSphere with Tanzu using the new vSphere Zones feature in vSphere 8.


For those interested in running a lean and minimal setup in their homelab, you can deploy a fully functional vSphere with Tanzu environment with just 32GB of memory and this is still applicable for vSphere 8!

Demo of VMware Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI)

10.03.2022 by William Lam // Leave a Comment

I recently blogged about the new VMware Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI) service, which folks should definitely check out first to learn more about the new cloud service and how you can participate in the early access beta.


I had also recorded a short demo that I had shared with internal teams to showcase how end users would interact and deploy workloads using CCI and the demo recording was very well received.

I decided to re-record the demo along with audio voice over and here is a quick look at the Cloud Consumption Interface (CCI) in action:
