Nutanix : Évaluer l’empreinte carbone de vos clusters Nutanix AHV

Saviez-vous que c’est prévu que l’empreinte carbone de l’industrie digitale dépasse celle du transport aérien, représentant plus de 4 % des émissions totales de gaz à effet de serre ?

De manière alarmante, ce chiffre devrait doubler au cours des cinq prochaines années ! La croissance rapide du secteur nécessite une attention urgente pour adopter des pratiques durables et réduire son impact sur l’environnement.

Je me suis souvent posé cette question : en tant qu’administrateur IT, que puis-je faire au

Nutanix : Recycle Bin un outil qui peut vous sauver

Dans le domaine informatique, vous savez que les choses ne se déroulent jamais exactement comme prévu. Nous faisons tous des erreurs, des fautes de frappe ou des clics involontaires, mais grâce à des bons processus et des outils technologiques appropriés, nous sommes en mesure de rectifier rapidement nos erreurs. Aujourd’hui, je vous parle de l’un de ces outils.

Depuis la version 5.18, une fonctionnalité appelée Recycle Bin a été mise en place dans l’architecture de Nutanix AOS. Elle est activée

Nutanix : Who deleted my VM ?

Someone deleted a VM from the AHV cluster. We can see a VM deletion task under Prism Element, but we can’t easiliy determine which VM got deleted and by whom? Can you help?

I am surprised this kind of information can’t be found directly on Prism Element (PE). All you got is a notification for a VM deletion task that doesn’t provide any further details.

If you need more information on who deleted a specific VM, the only option that

Nutanix Flow isolation Policy with Terraform

Here we go with another blog post on Nutanix and Terraform. 
If you haven’t checked the first video on how to provision VMs on Nutanix AHV with Terraform, here is the link.

The idea of this post is to quickly show you how Terraform can be leveraged to create software-defined network security policies on AHV with Nutanix Flow. For more information on Nutanix Flow capabilities, please refer to the following link: Nutanix-Flow-datasheet

For this blog post, we are going to

Nutanix and Gitlab – vSphere Cluster creation and AOS configuration

In the previous blog post, we showed you how Gitlab and Nutanix Foundation APIs could be leveraged to create a Nutanix AHV cluster from scratch: https://vinception.fr/nutanix-and-gitlab-foundation-and-cluster-creation/In this post, we are going to use the same components, method and process to:

  • Create a Nutanix Cluster with vSphere as the Hypervisor
  • Configure the Nutanix Cluster (AOS settings): Accept Eula, Configure Pulse, DNS, NTP, LCM, Http Proxy, Timezone, SNMP, SMTP, Containers, Syslog, Licensing, Active Directory, Role Mappings

We still have our Gitlab

Nutanix and Gitlab – Foundation and Cluster Creation

Nutanix has a bunch of APIs that you can leverage to automate different processes and reduce operational time, effort, risks, and improve consistency. In the following example, we will see how GitLab can be used to deploy a new AHV cluster from scratch. 

Our Gitlab Project called “ntnx-automation” is composed of different files:

  • A README file, usually a documention, describing requirements, how to use the solution, etc.
  • A ntnx-scripts folder storing all scripts dedicated to the automation project.

Nutanix : Tip of the Week #1

This post is the first of a weekly series of short articles on Nutanix, providing hopefully useful tips.

If you need to change passwords on your Nutanix cluster (Host, IPMI and CVM) you can use these below scripts to do it quickly.

Change password on all CVM:

for i in svmips;do echo “–$i–“;ssh nutanix@$i ‘echo -e “NewPassword\nNewPassword” | sudo passwd nutanix’;done

Change password on all Host:

for i in hostips;do echo “–$i–“;ssh root@$i ‘echo -e “NewPassword\nNewPassword” | passwd

Nutanix : Xi Leap a Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS)

We all wish to avoid disasters, but unfortunately, they do occur. Today statistics indicate that even a very short amount of downtime can have significant adverse effects on a company. Revenues are impacted. Customers are impacted. Company reputation is affected.

So, do you need a disaster recovery plan?

Hardware fails, people do mistakes, and having a solution with no downtime it’s just impossible. How can you guarantee no downtime at all?
The requirements, the size, the complexity, and the level

Nutanix : vRO workflow to add or remove VM from a protection domain (ASYNC DR)

The ability to perform day-2 operations from a single management pane can make life’s of IT administrators easier, especially with a platform that adapts an API First architecture strategy.

VMware vRO has a built-in REST plugin that allows you to perform REST operations and workflows that you can run directly from your vCenter.

In this quick post, we cover the integration between vRO and the Nutanix platform in order to automate the following actions:

Add a VM to an existing
