VMware have released VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4. It’s good to see that vSphere 7.0 Update 3c with Tanzu and vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3c are both included in this release. It’s also nice to see that Apache Log4j updates are also included.
The VMware Cloud Foundation team is proud to announce general availability of VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4, bringing forward the latest innovations in full stack Hyperconverged Infrastructure as a Hybrid Cloud Platform. The Bill of Materials for VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 includes the following products as part of the platform offering:
The bill of materials include the following:
- VMware SDDC Manager 4.4
- vSphere 7.0 Update 3c with Tanzu
- vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3c
- vSAN 7.0 Update 3c supporting enhanced cloud native storage, integrated file services.
- vRealize Suite provides numerous enhancements to vRealize log insight 8.6.2, vRealize Operations 8.6.2, and vRealize Automation 8.6.2. Note: VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 deploys vRealize Lifecycle Manager (VRSLCM) 8.6.2, then vRSLCM deploys and provides ongoing life cycle management of other vRealize Components.
- NSX-T 3.1.3.5, supporting new networking and security features including NSX-T Federation.
- VMware Workspace ONE Access 3.3.6
IEEE has a great interview with Heather Gorr, senior product manager for MathWorks’ MATLAB platform on recent developments of using AI in chip design. It never occurred to me that AI could become part of this process.
AI is such an important technology because it’s involved in most parts of the cycle, including the design and manufacturing process. There’s a lot of important applications here, even in the general process engineering where we want to optimize things. I think defect detection is a big one at all phases of the process, especially in manufacturing. But even thinking ahead in the design process, [AI now plays a significant role] when you’re designing the light and the sensors and all the different components. There’s a lot of anomaly detection and fault mitigation that you really want to consider.
Intel has released BIOS firmware updates that need your attention. It looks like there are 16 updates in total, with the majority of them listed with a ‘high’ severity rating.
Potential security vulnerabilities in the BIOS firmware for some Intel® Processors may allow escalation of privilege, denial of service or information disclosure. Intel is releasing firmware updates to mitigate these potential vulnerabilities.
Chaos engineering is a way to test your systems by breaking them on purpose in order to identify resilience problems. You intentionally inject faults to see how your systems will respond. Azure Chaos Studio is a great way to get started.
Improve application resilience with chaos testing by deliberately introducing faults that simulate real-world outages. Azure Chaos Studio Preview is a fully managed chaos engineering experimentation platform for accelerating discovery of hard-to-find problems, from late-stage development through production. Disrupt your apps intentionally to identify gaps and plan mitigations before your customers are impacted by a problem.
