Server virtualization is only a beginning.
Now is the era of the cloud.
There is the public cloud such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft’s
Azure. There is also the private cloud
where companies host the cloud services on local premise. Of course there is the hybrid cloud where
companies have both private and public cloud.
I think in a few more years there is the personal cloud just
like the personal computer where individuals will have one or more cloud for
them to use and can be access via different devices.
Apart from the commercial cloud offering, there is the open
source cloud and network virtualization. It is not easy to keep up with all the Open* such as OpenStack, OpenFlow,
OpenVswitch, OpenDayLight etc.
I am a software engineer for networking equipment. In my 20 years working for a Networking
Equipment Manufacturer, I have work on device driver, ATM, SNMP as well as
network access control.
Four years ago I started my journey to the cloud. With my background as a software engineer for
networking equipment, it should be natural for me to get into SDN or NVF or
OpenVswitch but I have chosen to go after the cloud infrastructure.
By chance I got to attend Interop 2010 for free (hotel, transportation
and food is on me). At that time server
virtualization is starting to pick up steam and VMware brought server
virtualization to maturity.
After I have attended Interop, I feel that virtualization is
the industry trend and is starting to pick up. After much effort, with many late night studies and setting up a home
lab I struggled for one year and after 2 retires I was able to get my VCP 4 and
subsequently VCP 5 certification. Good
thing VMworld 2013 is only announcing vSphere 5.5 otherwise I will have to
catch up again.
Then I have a chance to look into Citrix’s server and
application technology. It was at this
time that I found out I am lacking of the knowledge for the Microsoft
Infrastructure. Citrix is heavily
connected to Microsoft. I tried to learn
more about Microsoft’s various technologies and especially the Group Policy
when Citrix used that to tune their XenApp deployments. I thought of taking classes or online course
but budget is a problem – they are all very expensive.
There came Microsoft Windows Server 2012. As Microsoft is pushing this new server, there
are tons of promotions and free education opportunities. Thanks to Microsoft Learning and TrainSignal
(recently acquired by PluralSight) I am able to pass 70-410, 70-411 and 70-412
and achieved my MCSA for Windows Server 2012.
Hyper-V is really catching up with VMware.
With understanding of VMware and Microsoft infrastructure
technologies, I am now ready to really start my journey to the cloud. My next objective is to master Microsoft’s
private cloud technology and then move on to OpenStack.
Check back again to watch me
journey into the cloud.
