This post covers the details of how cloud-init reads its configuration through VMware tools, tips for troubleshooting cloud-init, and some other lessons learned along the way. Of course, I’ll share a working example that deploys a vApp to VCD using cloud-init for customization.

This post will cover some common networking scenarios in Google Cloud VMware Engine, like exposing a VM via public IP and configuring a basic load balancer in NSX-T. I'll also recap some important and useful features in GCP and GCVE.
Now that we have an SDDC running in Google Cloud VMware Engine, it is time to migrate some workloads into the cloud. VMware HCX will be the tool I use to migrate Virtual Machines to GCVE.
In previous posts, I've shown you how to deploy a SDDC in Google Cloud VMware Engine, connect the SDDC to a VPC, and deploy a bastion host for managing your environment. In this post, we'll take a pause on deploying anything new to review what we have done so far. This post will provide an overview of the networking configuration and capabilities of our SDDC, and how to connect to it from an external site.
Welcome back! This post will build on our previous work by deploying a Windows Server 2019 bastion host to manage our Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE) SDDC. Access to the bastion host will be provided with Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP). As was done in my previous post, everything will be deployed and configured with Terraform.
Welcome to the first post in a new series focusing on Google Cloud VMware Engine (GCVE)! This first post will walkthrough prerequisites, deploying an SDDC with VMware HCX, and accessing vCenter via VPN Gateway.
