VMware has renewed its vRealize cloud management platform, allowing developers to leverage hybrid cloud operations and automation. The platform includes new product releases, namely vRealize Operations 7.5, vRealize Network Insight 4.1, vRealize Automation 7.6 and vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 2.1.
With vRealize Operations, self-directed operational management from application to infrastructure is delivered to optimize, plan, and scale hybrid clouds. The update provides the platform with a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) performance optimization of VMware vSAN clusters via workload rebalancing, which are aware of resync, slack space and Storage Policy Based Management. This should improve performance.
Capacity management is also made more efficient by adding allocation-based capacity management to the existing demand-driven modelling. In addition, there are updated vSAN capacity management features, such as new HCI cost drivers and ‘what-if’ scenarios to model the impact of increasing the capacity of vSAN clusters.
With Telegraph agent based applications and OS monitoring with agent lifecycle management and an out-of-the-box dashboard, application and infrastructure problems must be predicted, prevented and quickly resolved. This also makes it possible to better map out the relationships between applications and infrastructure. And with integrated compliance and automated drift recovery capabilities for vSphere, risks need to be reduced and IT and regulatory standards enforced.
vRealize Network Insight
vRealize Network Insight should increase the visibility of application-based security and networking in Kubernetes environments. Network Insight is also available as a VMware Cloud Service. Version 4.1 allows organizations with Kubernetes or Enterprise PKS environments to plan security, resolve network issues, and use advanced analytics for containerized applications.
It also helps organizations to plan and solve security and networking issues by connecting to ServiceNow and adding application-specific dashboards. Network Insight 4.1 also provides better visibility across the network overlay and layer through the introduction of flow-latency and F5-load balancer support.
Automation and Lifecycle Manager
Version 7.6 of vRealize Automation introduces improved integrations with VMware’s software defined data center stack and management capabilities, making it easier for customers to automate hybrid cloud environments. For example, the version further extends its integration with NSX Data Center with new on-demand support for private networks.
In addition, improvements to custom forms are provided to simplify custom and improved catalogue item request forms. This includes API validation and support for regular expressions for DataGrid. The new version also delivers improved user experiences and support for multi-tenancy in vRealize Orchestrator.
Finally, vRealize Suite LifeCycle Manager 2.1 is designed to help customers manage and automate their environments through improved integration with VMware Cloud Foundation, improved user experiences, more detailed deployment options, and extensive content management capabilities.
