Step by step deployment of pfsense router part 1
In my homelab series I used CSR1000v router for providing layer 3 services, however that had a small issue speed.

Designing VMware Cloud Foundation? Dont Forget to Consider These..
Building on VMware cloud foundation can be an exciting prospect. However, there are some challenges that architects need to take into consideration before making the jump.
Architects have a lot to consider when deciding whether or not to build the solution on the VMware cloud foundation. Some of the challenges include how much control you want over your environment, what type of workloads it will be running, and if you need to ensure high availability for your workloads. The two major advantages of using a VMware based solution are that it lowers the total cost of ownership and reduces complexity.
Below are the points which an Architects should consider while evaluating VMware Cloud Foundation, as it is a future ready solution and it will enable you to start your cloud first strategy with your own private cloud.

Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install decommision Host
In my previous post Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install Add Host we have added new host to our VMware cloud foundation inventory and then expanded an existing cluster.
Which helped us dealing with the scalability requirement of any SDDC, now its time we move forward with the next requirement of a DC which is removing a host out of cluster or decommissioning a host from the environment.
After we have learned how to remove a host from VMware cloud foundation environment we will move forward with upgrade of the same environment.
In this post I am going to cover removal of a host from existing cluster and decommissioning of the host from a VMware cloud foundation environment.

Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install Add Host
In my previous post Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install vRNI we have completed deployment of vRealize network insight using vRealize lifecycle manager in a VMware cloud foundation environment.
Which was the last product we deployed to make it a complete software defined datacenter (Software Defined Compute, Software Defined Storage and Software Defined Network).
Next thing in the agenda should be scalability of the VMware cloud foundation environment. When I say scalable it covers both vertical and horizontal growth of DC.
In this post I am going to cover expansion of VMware cloud foundation cluster by adding additional host in the inventory and then add it to the required cluster.

Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install vRNI
In my previous post Step-by-step VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 design and install vRNI Binaries we have uploaded vrealize network insight binaries to the local repository which has enabled us for deployment of vRealize network insight.
As we have already discussed in our previous post that vRealize network insight is not a part of VMware cloud foundation bill of material. Its deployment is a little bit different from other vRealize suite products.
In this post we will be discussing how to deploy vRNI and how this deployment is different from other vRealize suite products. This is not the last product which can be integrated with VMware cloud foundation, this is the last product I am going to cover in this VCF design and deploy series.
