  • New Features in Sovlabs Property Toolkit: Entity Assignment

    Dec 5, 2018 vra sovlabs

    It’s no secret that I’ve been a huge proponent of the SovLabs Property Toolkit module. So much so that my new motto is, “don’t leave home without it.” I’ve written fairly extensively about some of its power in articles here and here, but today I’m really excited. No, SUPER excited because the guys and gals at SovLabs …

  • Veeam Backup-as-a-Service, Part 1

    Aug 2, 2018 veeam sovlabs vra vrealize

    Today I want to introduce and provide a walk-through on how to use what I think is one of the coolest modules SovLabs has produced to date for vRealize Automation: Backup-as-a-Service (or BaaS for short). BaaS is one of those pie-in-the-sky dreams for many CMP owners and operators and, frankly, the aim of lots of other …

  • Making vRA Email Easy with Custom Notifications

    Mar 21, 2018 vra vrealize sovlabs

    Email is one of those things that most of us take for granted these days. We just expect email works, that it is flexible, and that it’s adaptable to our situation. Within vRA, we can also get email in and out based on a variety of scenarios. But when it comes to customizing how that looks and works, it’s a little …

    Mar 21, 2018 vra vrealize sovlabs

    Welcome back to another installment of the exploration of the SovLabs modules! A while back, I went through and introduced the Property Toolkit module via a use case of dynamically building custom properties based on the presence of other custom properties. I illustrated this in the form of placement in vCenter …

  • What is Sovlabs?

    Mar 18, 2018 vra vro vrealize sovlabs

    I realized that although I have covered several of the SovLabs modules already with some fine use cases, I might have jumped the gun a little and not fully explained what this SovLabs business is and how I got to those points. I often receive the question “is it a vRO plug-in?” and so realize a little introduction is …

  • Automating vSphere Tagging in vRA with SovLabs

    Dec 31, 2017 sovlabs vra vrealize

    vRealize Automation is a very metadata-driven system through capabilities called custom properties. These properties—which are nothing more than key-value pairs—can be applied at multiple levels throughout vRA and cause it to behave in different ways. The same sort of metadata drives a lot of decision within vSphere …

  • Custom Naming in vRA with zero custom coding

    Oct 2, 2017 vra sovlabs vrealize

    Everyone’s got one, everyone needs them, and most people struggle with them. I’m talking about custom machine names, of course. Just like organizations themselves, naming schemes can be, and are about, as varied as possible. Some companies have fairly straightforward names with maybe two elements while others have …

  • vRA and The Problem of the vCenter Folder

    Sep 18, 2017 vra vrealize sovlabs

    Between speaking with customers, architecting and deploying solutions, and helping others out with their issues on the VMware Communities forums, I encounter a lot of problems and get a lot of info on how customers do business with their CMPs. One of the requests that keeps coming up over and over again is how to deal …
