Aria Operations Management Packs End of Life

-

Coming 1st Oct 2024, the Aria Operations Management Packs will be end of general support (EoGS). Here is the KB.

The affected management packs are as follow:

  • vRealize Operations Management Pack for VMware Integrated OpenStack
  • vRealize Operations Federation Management Pack
  • VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack for CloudHealth
  • VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Flowgate
  • VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Aria Hub
  • VMware vRealize Operations Management Pack for VMware Smart Assurance
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Aria Operations for Apps
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for VMware Tanzu Application Service
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for NetApp FAS/AFF
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for HPE OneView
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Cisco HyperFlex
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Dell EMC Isilon
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Dell EMC Unity
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Nagios XI
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Palo Alto Networks
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for SolarWinds NPM
  • Aria Operations Management Pack for Oracle Enterprise Manager
  • VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Nutanix
  • VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Pure Storage FlashArray
  • VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for Cohesity


If you are using any of the above management pack, what happens after 1st Oct will be no update and support for them. 

The alternative is to use the management pack builder which uses API and REST. Check out the KB.

The disadvantage of this is for existing customers would be to start building their own dashboard from this. Since without the out of box management packs, specific customize dashboard will need to be created.

The advantage of this will be to utilize anything you like to custom that dashboard and no dependency wait for VMware to update the management pack to support newer version since typically API and REST do not change that regularly. And if there is, we can always check back with the vendor what is the replacement/update if any.

I have seen some customers who have created their own rather than using the default out of the box dashboard as they want something more customize to their own needs.

Why VMware or Why Not after Broadcom?

The Truth Yes, the news of VMware acquired by Broadcom has come to a realization. We cannot denied the truth since 22nd Nov 2023. Prior the acquisition, if you have made a multi-year purchase before that, you will have whatever you can consume after the acquisition. VMware after the acquisition has release new bundle of all their offerings and end the perpetual licensing offer to the market. The individual products are not make available and cannot be purchase as a standalone. But are offered via two bundle namely; VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF), VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Both of which are all subscription licenses. It also ends all sales and renewal of any perpetual licenses. Honestly, VMware has been trying to end its perpetual license and into subscription for the longest time. With the Broadcom acquisition, VMware has been one of the last major player that has moved to subscription license. Customer who are on VMware, has been enjoying the great pricing with no limit of cores

New changes are coming your ways for VMware certifications. A blog article just been release. 1. Prices of VCP, VCAP, etc. are all standardize to one single price, USD250. This is definitely beneficial for many especially those who are keen to persue the advanced level exam but having difficult to afford the exam fee which was much higher. 2. A mandatory course is no longer needed as an exam requirement. This will help many professionals who are experienced to get certified without having to go through boring course and spend to drag through the requirement.  Will this then bring down the certification value since course was required to ensure certified professional walk the talk as what they hold in credential? Answer to point 2, for people who are new and managed to pass the exam and get certified by other means, it can be identified easily. As the digital badges will be differentiated whether the exam was passed with a accompanied course or not. So during an interview, it can ident

VMware by Broadcom, A New Chapter Forward

-
With Broadcom acquisition of VMware completing in 22nd Nov, there have been lots of assumption made by many sources what will become of the business direction. Here are some of the updates that are publicly announced if you have not catch up on the news. To start with, VMware is now known as VMware by Broadcom and all originally VMware software will remain to be branded under VMware. The first announcement 27th November, Carbon Black is  now  an autonomous unit within Broadcom. In my opinion this is good news. I have seen not much integration on Carbon Black ever since acquired by VMware so with that move, it allows Carbon Black to innovate and do what they do best in Cyber security landscape. Next from the acquisition completion, there are many speculation on after the acquisition what will end up of End User Computing? With the  announcement  on 8th December, The End User Computing (EUC) division will be a diverse business. With that understanding, EUC division will operate on their
