Useful Links for VMware by Broadcom Day 2 Transition

05.06.2024 by William Lam // 85 Comments

While today, May 6th, 2024 marks the completion of the "Day 2" transition where VMware's backend system has been migrated to Broadcom's backend system, it may still take a few days for all the new systems to fully settle with such a large migration project. There are also some planned post-Day 2 updates that are still pending for some web properties, so you may see additional updates towards end of the week as well.

With a large number of VMware web properties changing including some being retired and/or kept exactly the same, I have been collecting various links that customers, partners and employees may find useful. I will continue to make updates to this page as new or updated information is provided, so be sure to bookmark to stay up to date.

I have also recently published these follow-up blog posts that users might find useful as well:

  • Tips for navigating and downloading from new Broadcom Support Portal
  • No entitlements needed for these popular VMware downloads on Broadcom Support Portal (BSP)

Note: Some downloads will require an active entitlement while others may not. You can check back later this week as I know not all downloads may be showing up immediately.

PowerCLI automation for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA (PAIF-N)

04.02.2024 by William Lam // 2 Comments

With the release of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.1.1, customers can now take advantage of the new VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA (PAIF-N) solution, providing an optimized and validated platform by NVIDIA for running modern AL/ML workloads on VCF. To learn more about the PAIF-N solution for VCF, there is a comprehensive PAIF-N Guide that includes the full software build-of-materials (BOM) as well as a step-by-step implementation guide for deploying the solution.

If you are interested in exploring the new PAIF-N solution, I recently came to learn the PowerCLI team have created some really useful PowerCLI scripts which fully automates the deployment of PAIF-N and makes setting up the environment a breeze!

There are 4 PowerCLI scripts that is included in the PAIF-N automation:

VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA) v0.8.0

02.25.2024 by William Lam // 5 Comments

I am very excited to share that we have just released our long awaited v0.8.0 of the VMware Event Broker Appliance (VEBA)! 🥳


The v0.8.0 release has been in the works for quite some time and because of the major architectural change in migrating to the VMware Tanzu Sources for Knative, we also needed to update all example functions to reflect the new event payload schema, refresh all user documentation and our VEBA website, which only performed during our spare cycles and typically in the evenings!

It has certainly been a long journey and I could not have done it without my colleague Robert Guske, who has been a machine in updating all of our documentation to make it easier to consume for both our existing and new users. 🙌

Last but now least, I want to give a huge thanks 👏 to my original partner in crime Michael Gasch, while he is no longer with VMware, he was still kind enough to help answer some questions while hitting some release automation issue over the weekend and was instrumental in helping me get the v0.8.0 release out!

Changelog for VEBA v0.8.0:

  • Updated Software Build-of-Material (SBOM) (See the VEBA BOM for detailed changes)
  • Replaced VMware Event Router with VMware Tanzu Sources for Knative
  • All VEBA endpoints now protected with basic authentication
  • New Google Chat notification function
  • Migrated function container images from Google (GCR) to Github (GHCR)
  • Updated all PowerShell/PowerCLI functions with the latest PS/PCLI base images
  • Improved website documentation
  • Various Bug Fixes and Code Improvement

Download for VEBA v0.8.0: 

  • Login to the VMTN Community Fling page to download
