🔧 How to Transition to Indevops Management Packs (Addons) 🔧

A few simple steps to get you to the next level of monitoring and troubleshooting your applications on any IT infrastructure and application server.

What do you need? Own or purchase @VMware VCF/VVF, and then install ready-made, tested, and most importantly production-proven additional plug-ins (add-ons) just for VCF/VVF for Operations (formerly Aria Operations) from a proven professional in this field, namely from us @Indevops. 🔧

Here's a simple plan:

1️⃣ Read the documentation at👇

https://docs.indevops.com/

2️⃣ Installation and configuration

Download the plug-ins (addons) from the Indevops platform and follow the installation instructions, making sure your environment is ready. Before you do this, check in with us for details on this step: 

👉  https://www.indevops.com/pl/kontakt-2/

3️⃣ Testing and integration

Conduct tests of the plugin (addon) operation and integration with your current systems on a test environment to verify that it works correctly. If you don’t want to deal with this yourself you can apply to us. We will help you with this step as well.

4️⃣ Support and training

If you have questions, take advantage of the technical support offered by Indevops.

Production deployment – at the very end, you’ll be able to worry-free deploy additional plugins (addons) for #VCF/#VVF for Operations to your production environment with our help or on your own already after testing.

👉 Summary

New plug-ins (addons) and support for already existing #VCF/#VVF for Operations plug-ins are our daily bread, and for you it’s a guarantee of better application performance whether you run them on VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Redhat OpenStack/Openshift, k8s, or IBM Power infrastructure. We have experience and working knowledge on a variety of platforms.

On top of that, there are challenges with the end of support for some VMware by Broadcom plug-ins, but more on that later.

You learned that we have been involved with VMware VCF for Operations technology for years. We specialize in deploying the entire VCF private cloud. We can boast of many successful implementations, and most importantly, we influence the quality of IT services provided by our customers.

INDEVOPS is here to help you!

In recent months you have learned that VMware by Broadcom is ending support for some VCF for Operations plug-ins. Our customers with whom we have worked for years this inconvenience will not be affected, because they know they can count on us . Here are some of the most common problems and how Indevops can help customers:

1️⃣ Lack of full visibility into IT infrastructure and applications and the links between these topics.

Without accurate monitoring of the virtual environment, server infrastructure, arrays, networks and applications, it is difficult for complex, siloed teams that use different monitoring tools to quickly identify the cause of failure and where it occurred, which can lead to unexpected downtime.

💡Solution:

✅  Indevops Management Packs (Addons) the VCF for Operations tool (Aria Operations) with elements that you won’t find in VMware’s tool as standard. Through this we can take a comprehensive approach to all the components from which an application is built. Believe me these components from which one application is built can be even more than several hundred.  This allows you to identify potential problems. In one tool we can see everything and we have ML (Machine Learning) at our disposal, nothing will hide from the eyes of the person who is supposed to react quickly and solve problems. 

 

2️⃣ Manually managing IT processes

Manually sifting through logs from different sources and manually finding errors server by server, router by router, is a big challenge

💡 Solution:

Indevops automates many of the processes involved in extending applications and IT infrastructure in cloud environment management tools. This saves you time and ensures that the process is flawless, standardized and all elements of the application are certainly monitored.

3️⃣ Lack of analysis of historical data

Without insight into historical data, it is difficult to assess the performance of the application and the IT infrastructure running on it.

💡 Solution:

Indevops empowers you to analyze historical data and identify performance bottlenecks across all aspects of your application. Our core offering, VCF for Operations, seamlessly integrates with VCF for Logs—ensuring comprehensive log tracking across all locations—and VCF for Networks, which provides detailed insights into every packet’s journey through network devices.

While we believe our platform provides an all-in-one solution, we understand that unique IT infrastructure components or deep application-level insights may sometimes be required. In such cases, we deliver customized plug-ins for VCF for Operations to address specific needs.

This approach enables our customers to optimize resources effectively, eliminate bottlenecks, and automatically scale applications to handle increased user traffic.

4️⃣ Will a new Pack for VCF for Operations work properly and efficiently?

Creating new plugins for VCF is a challenge.  An incorrectly implemented plug-in can affect the performance of our monitoring or lead to an incorrect display of application performance.

💡 Solution:

✅    Indevops management packs (Addons) are created according to a strict standard. Imagine creating thousands of virtual machines automatically every day for software development. It works like a well-run and automated Tesla production belt. Why is that? We create environments for developers, then testers, and finally we simulate running them in an environment similar to the production environment of our clients.  This allows us to avoid errors, check performance and correct configuration. Customers get a warmed-up product.

5️⃣ Lack of plan for implementation and change rollback

Deployments without a plan and a change rollback can lead to prolonged downtime in case of failure. Often in immature IT organizations, this happens and leads to catastrophic consequences. I’ve heard it many times and seen it with my own eyes.

💡 Solution:

✅  Indevops provides comprehensive implementation documentation, including a detailed implementation plan and contingency strategies for exiting the implementation if needed. Additionally, we recommend and, upon request, maintain test, pre-production, and production environments for our clients.

Why is this important?  Every plan must be thoroughly tested. By progressing through these structured environments, we ensure that the final outcome aligns with expectations. This step-by-step approach allows us to verify the plan at each stage and make necessary adjustments, ensuring a reliable and successful implementation.

Our goal is to give clients peace of mind, knowing their infrastructure is in expert hands. A solid night’s rest empowers everyone to tackle the challenges of the next day with renewed energy and confidence.

👉 Summary

Whether you want a basic VMware vSphere Foundation cloud deployment or a full VMware Cloud Foundation suite you’ll have it deployed for your dedicated needs. Just like at the best tailor. And on top of that, you’ll get additional Indevops Management Packs for VCF for Operations.  You will gain tools to ensure high availability for your business applications and to standardize, automate IT processes in your company. We can do a lot, but this post has its limitations. Apply to us and you will see the rest.

Why do I like my job at Indevops?

 

There is always something going on here, there is no proverbial boredom and life is bustling like nowhere else. Everything is spinning, but it also has its time. The right one for the realization of a given topic. Often with my team we wonder, where do we rush so much? 😉

To this question I always have an answer for you, our clients, the readers of these posts. We rush to breathe energy and good flow to those who need it. That sounds good, doesn’t it?

Let me share our experience at the recent Tech Forum we attended.

 

The VMware FutureTech Forum & VMUG Poland

It was an event that drew a crowd. There were customers, partners, people curious about IT news. There were us Silver Sponsor of the event. There is always a large group of people working on presenting ourselves to you and showing you what we do or having coffee with you. Several departments prepare a presentation or a promotional landing page for you.

Here you can watch it and learn more about VCF Promotion:

We do the graphics ourselves, we write the texts ourselves, our Marcin Rzepa is a master in film inserts for presentations. and our Chief Paweł Orzechowski always knows how to make it good. 😊
Is it sometimes boring in my work? No, never. Even when I have a problem, I know that I will come to work and my team will say: “Eve, smile. We’ll do, we’ll help, we’ll deliver…” This builds me up and drives me mega.

Events like VMware FutureTech Forum also. It’s where I talk to Clients, other Partners, friends in the industry. It’s where I learn, for example, that you like Indevops’ posts on Linkedin or what you need from us.
Our proposal to you “Indevops VCF Promotion – VMware Cloud Foundation by Indevops” was received with great appreciation. My colleagues talked a lot about it during the VMware Future Tech Forum, and the room where Marcin Rzepa spoke was full to the brim. Thank you for that.

I would also like to thank all the VMware Employees involved for organizing, as always, a super event. Special thanks to Piotr Kraś for the invitation from the whole Indevops team.
With you it’s not only mountains, but also Clouds to move!
