Thanks to everyone that attended the #VMware #Explore session on #vSphere automation with #Terraform and #PowerCLI!

All the demo code you saw live is available in my GitHub repo: https://github.com/kmruddy/CODEB2862LV

We'll get the session recording posted as soon as it's available as well!

The new #Bing with AI is already awesome. I've been using it for years already, so to have the AI Chat features added in is just icing on the cake. 🙂

#VMware #PowerCLI example prompt:

Anyone familiar with the #vmware #powercli #nsx api who can help me with some examples of *editing* groups (I.e. like Adding additional conditions and not overwriting)? This api is crazy to me.

Another neverending story https://it.martin-walther.ch/

Deployed a lot of ESXi Hosts with #VMware vSphere AutoDeploy in different network zones and vSphere SSO domains.
All settings (DHCP IP reservation, DNS records, BIOS settings, apply and remediate HostProfile, move to the spec. Cluster, assigning licence, etc) is done with #PowerShell and #PowerCLI.

I did build a Framework with #Gitlab and #pipeline with #pester to test and deploy the node-files as Yaml to the selected environment (Test, Int, Prod).
The node.yml contains all the config to deploy an ESXi Host and will be used as inputfile for the workflow-script that orchestrate the deployment.

And now I found a few new ideas, to optimize this workflow.

Hey #vmware your #powerCLI documentation has a copyPaste error:
Get-DrsClusterGroup returns an object of type VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Cluster.DrsClusterGroup just as the corresponsing Set commandlet does and not the DrsRule type you listed here
https://developer.vmware.com/docs/powercli/latest/vmware.vimautomation.core/commands/get-drsclustergroup
I'd use the feedback button on that page but somehow it doesn't work and maybe there's someone here who knows someone... 🤓

AI capabilities are mindblowing.
Just played around with https://chat.openai.com
I asked a more or less complex question and I got multiple solutions in realtime. Amazing!
#vExpert #PowerCLI #AI

The code that #OpenAI #ChatGPT creates is amazing! I have been asking #PowerShell, #SQL, #SaltStack, #Python, #JavaScript, #PowerCLI questions and the code that it is generating is very useful! Where have you been my whole coding career? Google on steroids. 👍

One of the challenges when working with such a kind of "matured" solution like #vSphere is that when googling for a hints you stumble across ~10year old blogs like I did for " #powerCli vSphere alarm".
People more liked to create objects like
New-Object VMware.Vim.AlarmSpec
but I tend to use commandlets (New-AlarmDefinition/Trigger /Action) as far as I can because that'll work when object properties or methods will change in the future. Anyway - give me a hint if I missed something about that =)
