Automating Private Cloud Director: Introduction to CI/CD Patterns
In earlier posts in the Automating Private Cloud Director series, I covered the Private Cloud Director (PCD) API, Terraform, Ansible, and enterprise integration patterns. Those posts focused on the primitives: the interfaces and tools you use to drive PCD programmatically. In this post, I’d like to shift from primitives to patterns, and specifically to the The post Automating Private Cloud…

VMware Migration After VDDK: Three Data Paths with vJailbreak
Executive Summary In late August, Broadcom ended public downloads of their VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) from their website. The VDDK is a set of libraries and APIs that enables external software like backup, recovery, and migration tools to access and transfer data from VMware virtual disks managed through vSphere or hosted on ESXi The post VMware Migration After VDDK: Three Data…
What’s New in Private Cloud Director: August 2026 Release
Modern virtualization platforms face the paradox that defines infrastructure management: the need to be adaptable enough to serve unknown future workloads, while maintaining the ability to serve existing mission business-critical applications, all with accountability and resilience. The August 2026 release of Private Cloud Director addresses these needs directly, driven by customer and partner…
Broadcom Cut Public Access of Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) Overnight
How you can migrate off VMware without VDDK Broadcom acquired VMware in 2023 and since then they have inflicted hit after hit on their customers. The latest, on August 25, 2026, saw Broadcom officially restrict public access to the Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK), cutting off the standard public URLs with no warning. This added The post Broadcom Cut Public Access of Virtual Disk Development…

Bringing enterprise Linux to the robotics frontier: ROS2 adds Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a tier-1 supported platform
The convergence of enterprise IT and physical computing is accelerating. As artificial intelligence transitions from purely digital environments into autonomous systems, industrial automation, and smart edge devices, the software foundation behind these systems must be as resilient as the physical machines themselves.To power this next generation of intelligent systems, we’re pleased that Red Hat…
Best practices guide for customizing Gemini models via Reinforcement Learning (RL)
Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a keystone of modern LLM post-training, but it demands large training clusters and access to model internals that external customers can't have with proprietary models like Gemini. So here at Google Cloud, we packaged it into a managed RL fine-tuning service (RLFT service), you bring prompts and a reward function; we handle the infrastructure and the…
Breaking the AI productivity paradox: an intelligent migration factory to modernize infrastructure and applications
The rise of generative AI promised a silver bullet, but for most enterprises, especially banks, digital transformation remains a slow, complex, and costly endeavor. Early reports suggested massive developer productivity gains. But when AI is applied to complex enterprise systems, organizations often collide with what we call the AI productivity paradox.According to a Stanford software engineering…
Why your startup needs open models alongside frontier APIs
Every week, I talk with founders who are building at an unbelievable pace. Teams are moving from inception to product-market fit faster than ever, with foundation models wired deeply into their core product workflows. Yet as startup architectures mature, a clear divide has emerged between teams struggling with margins and those scaling sustainably. The most effective engineering teams have…
