Wir reden mit Marko Lauke und Thomas Woinke über einen klassischen Heimcomputer im Eigenbau.

I recently came across an excellent blog by William Lam, which discussed how to set up VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x on a single box for home labs. William created a Github page that goes over the whole process, and provided all the tweaks and scripts needed to get it done. I wanted to discuss this process with William, as I believe many folks in the VMware/Broadcom community will be interested in deploying this at home, or at work, to go through that full VCF experience but without needing a larger lab environment. Thanks William, for a fantastic episode.Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions shared in this podcast are our own/guest(s), and not necessarily those of Broadcom, VMware by Broadcom, or SAP.

I recently read a blog post on AI/ML performance on top of VCF, and figured it was time to invite Frank Denneman back to the podcast. During the episode we discuss VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, and Frank also mention Ollama as a great starting point.Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions shared in this podcast are our own/guest(s), and not necessarily those of Broadcom, VMware by Broadcom, or SAP.

Without this, developers waste time managing infrastructure instead of focusing on code. VMware addresses this with VCF, a pre-integrated Kubernetes solution that includes components like Harbor, Valero, and Istio, all managed by VMware. While some worry about added complexity from abstraction, Turner dismissed concerns about virtualization overhead, pointing to benchmarks showing 98.3% of bare metal performance for virtualized AI workloads. He emphasized that AI is driving nearly half of Kubernetes deployments, prompting VMware's partnership with Nvidia to support GPU virtualization. Turner also highlighted VMware's open source leadership, contributing to major projects and ensuring Kubernetes remains cloud-independent and standards-based. VMware aims to simplify Kubernetes and AI workload management while staying committed to the open ecosystem.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights with VMware Has VMware Finally Caught Up With Kubernetes?VMware's Golden PathJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.
