24th September 2025 VMware User Group (VMUG) Poland

Hot Updates from VMUG Poland 2025!

24 September 2025 VMware User Group (VMUG) Poland. This time, the sessions were selected in a different way than usual, i.e. participants could submit their own topic proposals and lead the sessions themselves. We were represented by Marcin Rzepa, who, as a #vExpert, tackled the topic of Agents 😊.

It was clear that each speaker had that spark in their presentation and showed a demo.

Dominik Jakubowski was the first to speak, with ‘Tanzu for the reluctant. How to get started with containers in the VMware world without a headache.’ He gave an accessible introduction to the world of microservices based on #K8S on the #vSphere Kubernetes Service platform.

The next session, our favourite 😁, was Marcin Rzepa's session.

As a vExpert, Marcin has years of experience with the largest VCF Operations/Automation implementations in Poland, which allowed him to present the problems administrators may encounter when installing and managing agents (including Telegraf and VCF for logs) and, on the other hand, what to do to solve these problems. The VCF Operations platform came to the rescue, where he showed what monitoring the status of agents on operating systems can look like, along with their installation, configuration and maintenance using dedicated software created in collaboration with Onteon Tech.

It was clear that the topic was a hot one, as Marcin received many questions from the audience and online.

After lunch, the first session was led by Paweł Wojno, ‘vSphere Supervisor [Tanzu] 9.0 – a practical guide’. Here, Paweł went into greater detail about the #VKS environment on #VVF/#VCF. The practical demo was received with enthusiasm by the audience.

After Paweł, Beata Witkowska-Szmyt made a short announcement, conveying important messages about the most significant events organised by TD SYNNEX Poland in the context of #VMware.

The last session, led by Łukasz Tworek and Andrzej Szymczak, included a demo on how to prepare #VCF9 for full operation as a private cloud, what components need to be configured and installed in VCF9. In the next steps, they showed how to use ready-made IaaS, CaaS and application services from the self-service portal. It was cool that Łukasz provided links to his blog, where everything he presented can be found.

The most open part, where the discussion flowed naturally, was the panel discussion about the latest news from VMware Explore in Vegas and London. Here, @Andrzej Szymczak talked about these new developments and we considered how to apply them in practice, while Łukasz Maciaszek shared his insights from VMware #Explore in London.

See you at the next #VMUG 🖐.

On September 24, 2025, at the VMware User Group (VMUG) Poland meeting and within the VMware vExpert community, you’ll be able to hear Marcin Rzepa from INDEVOPS

Marcin will discuss the topic: ‘The administrator's nightmare – how to chase away VCF & VVF agents’. 💻

It will be a practical story about how to deal with the challenges of monitoring and observability in VMware environments without unnecessary theory, but with a large dose of experience and humour.

Marcin Rzepa has been involved in monitoring and observability for years and has an incredible passion for new technologies. Thanks to his experience, he combines classic approaches with modern solutions, helping companies get the most out of automation and IT!

VMware Explore on Tour 2025. Let’s go!

VMware Explore on Tour 2025. Let’s go!

Day 1 in Las Vegas during VMware Explore on Tour 2025

On Sunday, INDEVOPS correspondent Marcin Rzepa arrived at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, where we will meet with IT and cloud leaders over the next few days to explore the future of infrastructure and AI.

Today is the last day for formalities and registration. We took advantage of the option to pick up our ID badges and conference materials, which opened yesterday. Logistics management is key to the start of any conference! 😊

In the evening, the first item on the agenda was the Welcome Reception at “The Hub”. It was the perfect moment for informal conversations, meetings, and building relationships with other participants in a relaxed atmosphere.

The coming days promise to be intense: technical sessions, hands-on workshops, AI and private cloud experts. I can already say that Indevops is off to a strong start here!

Stay Tuned! 👌

Automating application deployment on VM and Kubernetes

Automating application deployment on VM and Kubernetes

Today, we want to tell you how Marek regained control.

Marek, head of IT at a large company, was fed up with manual application deployment. Each new launch meant an avalanche of tickets, manual configuration of VMs, Kubernetes, IPs, load balancers… and finally still opening network traffic. Deployment time? Days, and often weeks.

Problems:

➡ Long wait times and multi-step approvals

➡ Errors due to manual operations

➡ Lack of standardisation

➡ Overloaded IT team

The solution? Automation.

Marek implemented application and infrastructure standards, automated appointment and approval processes, and launched a self-service portal. As of now:

➡  Applications are available in a several minutes

➡  Processes are repeatable and compliant with standards

➡  IT team focuses on strategic activities

Automated has been, among other things:

➡ VM/K8s creation and configuration

➡ Assignment of IPs, subnets, LBs

➡ Acceptance process, monitoring and auto-scaling

➡ Integration with CMDB and data updating

The result

➡ Faster deployments

➡ Fewer errors

➡ More time for the IT team

➡ Better quality and control

The effect

Marek has achieved all this with a private cloud based on VMware Cloud Foundation, enhanced with our add-ons and the team’s experience, coming soon in version  🔗  9 (VCF 9)

🔗 Our Addons for VCF

Don’t waste your time manually deploying applications. Be like Marek.
