Lab Updates

Duo SSO for Proxmox

I recently migrated away from VMWare, and over to Proxmox. As part of this migration, I wanted to setup auth similar to what I had with vCenter.

Thankfully, Proxmox supported Open-ID Connect (OIDC). This is a simple guide to follow, without much fluff.

Lab Update - Off with VMware

The Broadcom takeover of VMware saga continues. This time, changes to licensing for VMware User Group (VMUG) Advantage members.

For years, I've been using VMUG Advantage to handle my lab licensing. It's a yearly membership that granted you access to "EvalExperience" licenses for the full suite of VMware products that were good for 365 days.

VMUG also provides some additional benefits like discounts on exams, free training, user conferences, and more. For me though, the licensing was the main driver of my membership.

Despite constant reassurance from the VMUG and VMware leadership that nothing would change for us, our license experience has completely changed.
