Another fruitful workshop with our client is behind us.
On Tuesday, at a joint meeting, we summarised the work carried out in the client’s environment, both in terms of expansion and optimisation of the entire system. We presented the situation before and after implementation, and discussed detailed statistics on development and maintenance work over the last few months.
This workshop part was an excellent basis for moving on to a strategic discussion about the further directions of the environment’s development.
Next, we presented the capabilities of SSP (VMware Security Platform), which allows clients to significantly increase the security level of their infrastructure.
Later on, we focused on solutions developed by the Indevops team, concentrating on our favourite automation.
We presented, among other things:
👉 automation of microsegmentation processes,
👉 automation of business application development,
👉 tools for testing websites,
👉 and many other improvements that increase the efficiency and stability of IT environments.
The result of the workshops is a concrete action plan for the near future, prepared together with the client and tailored to their real needs.
If your organisation is looking for a partner who, thanks to their knowledge and expertise, will simplify complex IT processes, increase security and accelerate the development of your environment, we invite you to contact us.
👉 Contact the Indevops team, we will be happy to help.
This week with Kacper Durawa is all about inspiration and knowledge! 💡
We are currently attending Partner Sales Activation Training 2025 in sunny Lisbon ☀️.
It is three days of intensive training, meetings and exchange of experiences with partners from all over Europe.
The aim of the event is to develop sales skills, better understand customer needs and support them even more effectively in solving problems.
For several months now, the top topic has been VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0, the latest version of the cloud platform from VMware by Broadcom, designed for simplified management, automation and AI readiness.
We have already written about VCF 9.0 in the article:
In mid-September, Paweł Orzechowski represented Indevops at the 5th anniversary edition of the ITSF CUP tournament, which traditionally brought together representatives of the IT industry from all over Poland.
This year’s edition, for the first time in a two-day format, took place at the Tenis Kozerki Tennis Academy near Warsaw and provided participants with a solid dose of sporting excitement, healthy competition and a great atmosphere.
The organiser, #ITSF, once again proved that combining a passion for technology and sport is a recipe for a great event.
At Indevops, we support physical activity, balance and cooperation outside the office as well. That is why, whenever the opportunity arises, we take part in initiatives that bring people from the industry together and inspire them to take action… not only at the keyboard 💪
Congratulations to all the competitors and organisers. See you at the next edition! 🏆
I saw him later in the main auditorium and wanted to talk to him, but I lost sight of him for a moment and he disappeared into the crowd.😉 He talked about VCF at a high level. He emphasised that the key to success is good environment planning. He talked about the concept of VCF (VCF Fleet, Instance, Domain).
VCF Fleet is nothing more than a collection of VCF instances managed by common components: #Operations and #Automation. He also presented:
options for a fail-safe architecture.
several scalability parameters:
max. 25 vCentres in one instance (1 x MGMT Domain, 24 Workload Domains)
and, consequently, max. 25 NSX Managers
max. 2,500 hosts in one instance.
vRA, or rather VCFA (VCF Automation):
In addition to creating VMs, VCF Automation introduces the option of creating so-called All Apps, which means that on the same infrastructure, using Supervisor, the user can create both a standard VM and a #k8s cluster. k8s cluster on the same infrastructure using Supervisor. Now it doesn’t matter how complex the environment is. Organisations can easily and simply create applications regardless of their architecture.
vSphere Supervisor provides compute, storage and networking through the Kubernetes API.
Organisational and design isolation through the use of Namespace.
There can be one or more supervisors in a given region.
And all this is available from a single location, which allows you to create services in different regions and projects, e.g. dev, tst, prd,
In addition, everything is stored in YAML: VMs, TKG, load balancers, disks. When you configure from the GUI, a YAML file is automatically generated.

Well organised, quick access, smooth operation. They contain an easy description of the architecture and explain the terminology used in the introduction. In addition to clicking through, you can also run a simulation that will guide you and familiarise you with the specifics of VCF.
The photo shows the scale we are talking about, how many VMs, how much storage and how many networks were created today.
The top 3 places are taken by hol laby with VCF.
I clicked through the labs with vRA and VCF 😉
Of course, this is no substitute for working with the real VCF, but it provides a foundation for learning about and entering the world of Private Cloud, and we already have our first VCF 9.0 in our INDEVOPS lab, where we are constantly discovering something new.
Day 2 in Las Vegas during VMware Explore on Tour 2025
Today at VMware Explore on Tour in Las Vegas, Chris Wolf announced the launch of VCF 9.0 in subscription with Private AI Service. This is undoubtedly a milestone towards simpler and more flexible use of the cloud.
During the session, we had the opportunity to exchange experiences in building solutions that extend the capabilities of VCF in the area of monitoring and automation. All the work we have done so far on learning about the API/SDK has definitely paid off.
INDEVOPS Addons remain fully compatible with VCF 9.0 and allow us to further customize the platform to our customers’ needs.
For us, this is everyday life. We have always believed that a good hashtag#dashboard should show the status of the entire environment in 5 seconds and make it easier to spot problems. That’s why we are fans of the heatmap, and now in VCF 9.0 we have another tool: 👌 new clock-shaped widgets that visualize performance and show how much “turnover” the infrastructure or applications are generating.
That’s all for today.
The second day of VMwareExplore was very successful!
More reports coming soon. 🖐 🖐
And here is the recap from the VMware blog by Broadcom
