Get ready to migrate your SAP, Windows and VMware workloads in 2021
This year, we’ve witnessed tremendous change not only to our daily lives, but also how businesses work. For us, part of that meant helping businesses migrate and modernize their most important enterprise workloads—think SAP, Windows, and VMware—to Google Cloud, helping them achieve scale, flexibility and cost savings. Let’s take a quick look back on the progress we made this year and what’s to come.
SAP on Google Cloud delivers agility
An SAP environment is often at the very center of an enterprise’s operations. From financial accounting to supply chain management to human capital management, SAP applications demand the highest levels of flexibility, security and uptime. Customers considering migrating SAP to the cloud are looking to improve their business continuity capabilities. They need a secure cloud with advanced reliability, network, and uptime performance. They excel with data analytics and machine learning capabilities. And they want a cloud migration free of the drama and disruptions that usually accompany enterprise software projects.
In June 2020, Forrester assessed SAP on Google Cloud and found exciting results for customers considering a migration:
- Companies that adopt SAP on Google Cloud save more than $3 million per year on average by eliminating hardware purchases, optimizing their software licenses, and streamlining their IT staff, and through other operational efficiencies.
- Migrating SAP environments to Google Cloud effectively eliminated customers’ concerns about system uptime, and they saved $1.5 million per year on average by avoiding downtime issues.
- Google Cloud dramatically reduced the impact of server bottlenecks, infrastructure failures, network capacity issues, and other performance issues, resulting in $500,000 in productivity gains on average for each SAP on Google Cloud user.

Why Choose a VMware Cloud?
If you have been in the hosting industry for some time, you most likely had to upgrade your hosting package or resize your server at some point. As your business grows, so do the resources needed to run that business. Over the years, someone has most likely recommended a private cloud solution to you. You probably asked yourself why you would need a more expensive private solution like VMware cloud when you have a powerful VPS server or Dedicated server that is perfectly capable of handling your existing traffic.
Who Uses VMware and Why?
VMware is a partner of many renowned hosting companies. Google has a partnership with VMware through the Google Cloud VMware Engine solution, enabling you to quickly and efficiently migrate your VMware workloads. AWS is offering Managed VMware Cloud, which allows you to run your applications through a mix of public, private, and Hybrid Cloud environments. Here at Liquid Web, we also partnered with VMware to bring you our Private Cloud Powered by VMware and NetApp product.

How to Share a Local Folder with a Remote Host Running on VMWare
In this article, we are going to see how to share a local folder with a remote host running on VMWare Workstation. If you are someone wondering what VMWare Workstation is, it is a hypervisor that runs on X64 Linux and Windows operating systems providing features to run virtual machines.
You might also want to take a look at the Installation guide of the VMware workstation on Linux.
How to Enable Share Folder in VMWare Workstation
For the purpose of the demonstration, I am using Windows 10 as my base OS and Ubuntu 20.04 running as a remote host in my VMWare Workstation.
VMWare workstation → Right-click on remote host → Settings → options tab → shared folders.
VMWare Host Settings
VMWare Folder Sharing Options
By default shared folders options are disabled. There are two options we can use to share folders.
- Always enabled – Folder sharing will be enabled even when VM is Shutdown, Poweroff, or Suspended.
- Enabled until next power off or suspend – This is a temporary share. As long as VM is active or restarted the shared folder will remain active. Incase of VM in shutdown, power-off or suspended state share will be disabled. In that case, we have to re-enable the share again.

開発者の観点から見たVMware Tanzu Service Mesh
VMwareチームのDeepa Kalani、Ramiro Salas両氏が先週のSpringOne 2020 Confereneceで、Tanzu Service Mesh(TSM)プロダクトについて講演し、Global Namespaceによるアクセスコントロールとセキュリティポリシ実装の支援や、アプリケーション中心のメトリクスを表示する可視化ツールなどについて解説した。
サービスメッシュは、ネットワークに関する情報をサービスから分離することで、開発者がビジネスロジックに専念できるようにするものだ。一般的なサービスメッシュは、次のようなものを提供する。
- サービスディスカバリ
- 重み付け(Weighted)ルーティング (A/Bデプロイメント用)
- TLSベースの相互認証 (証明書ローテーションを含む)
- 詳細な可観測性のための高度なテレメトリ
- フォールトインジェクション(Fault injection)とリトライ
- サーキットブレーカ

Microsoft は Azure Spring Cloud の一般提供を発表
先日、Microsoft と VMWare の両社は、Spring Boot アプリのためのフルマネージドサービスである Azure Spring Cloud の一般提供を発表した。このサービスを利用することで、企業は JAR やコードをそこにデプロイできる。そして、そのサービスはアプリを Spring サービスランタイムに繋げるプロセスを自動化する。
昨年、Microsoft は VMWare との共同作業として Azure Spring Service を導入した - サービスのサポートと運用の両方を行っている。それ以来、様々な組織の Java 開発者がこのサービスを利用し、フィードバックを提供してサービスをさらに形にしていくことで、機能が生まれた。
- シークレットの管理、ハイブリッド展開、アプリへの出入り制御、TLS/SSLを利用したセキュアな通信などのセキュリティ強化を実現する。
- そして、オートスケーリング、ログストリーミング、アラート、自己診断などのパフォーマンスと信頼性をサポートする機能を提供する。
現在、Azure Spring Cloud は一般プレビューで 2 つの新機能が利用できる。
- 1つ目はManaged Virtual Networkだ。それは、ユーザーが Azure Spring Cloud のインバウンドとアウトバウンドのネットワーク通信を制御できる。また、Azure Spring Cloud がオンプレミスのデータセンター内のシステムや仮想ネットワーク内の Azure サービスと相互作用することを可能にする。この機能は、Application Gateway、Express Route などの Azure ネットワークリソースと、Cloudflare や Palo Alto Firewall などの Azure 経由で利用可能なサービスを組み合わせて構成されている。
- そして 2 つ目は Autoscale だ。これはアプリケーションのスケーリングに役立つ。この機能を有効にすると、負荷やスケジュールに基づいてアプリケーションのアップスケーリングやダウンスケーリングを自動化する。これにより、コスト効率とパフォーマンスの向上を実現する。

What is Configuration Management?
Configuration management is the process by which a company or organization defines and tracks the state of its infrastructural resources. Encapsulated in those resources are both physical hardware and software. It is a means to ensure that when changes are made to a system, those changes are tracked, geared toward the ultimate predefined criteria of what state should be.
Further, the automation of configuration management is integral to building and maintaining more complex systems. To understand the importance of configuration management in today’s complex technological ecosystem, it is useful to imagine what the inverse entails.
Without Configuration Management
Consider a web-based service that has an environment comprised of multiple server instances. Some servers are responsible for serving web traffic, others for load balancing, a database node, a caching node, and more. This web service has a single System Administrator responsible for maintaining these servers and the uptime of the application.
One day during a particularly high-traffic event, users begin to report occasional error codes from the service. The System Administrator begins troubleshooting and realizes that one of the web nodes is no longer serving traffic. While troubleshooting one of the unresponsive web nodes, the other web nodes in the system begin to overloaded with traffic. A domino effect ensues, and suddenly, users are unable to access the service at all.
The System Administrator realizes that the web node that went down first has filled its disk to capacity. They quickly remedy the issue, bringing it and the other web nodes back online, and everything begins running smoothly again. However, they notice that the disk on the original web node that initiated the cascading failure continues to fill up. After further investigation, the System Administrator determines that verbose logging for some of the services is enabled. This setting is determined to be the root cause of the servers disk full error. They adjust the system configuration to turn the feature off, and the high-traffic event continues without issue.
Usually, the verbose logging feature is enabled to troubleshoot an issue. The fact that it was not turned off resulted in downtime for the application. If the application had proper configuration management and automation in place, the web node’s desired state would have been enforced, and the incident likely would not have occurred.
