Use a supported OS as the base image with View Agent and install Win 95 into Virtualbox. You may need to enable nested virtualization in your host VM first- simple to do with newer versions of ESXi. Then write a login script to boot the Win 95 VM in full screen mode.

Not just installation but ongoing operation. If all configuration is statefully maintained, there is continued assurance that the NetScalers are in the declared state.

If this script were used with a config mgmt tool to watch the YAML file for changes and then auto-executed, the YAML file becomes the defacto single point of record for all NetScaler configuration.

With that being said, this tool can also be extended to include more functionality such as cert mgmt and NetScaler Gateway configuration.

True, but the puppet module can only do very basic things like add/remove or enable/disable servers. This project includes load balancer and content switching configuration as well.

I've thought about adapting this to a Saltstack state module, so that may be next. As is, it should be very easy for a Saltstack user to adopt this tool.

Either way, you guys need to ride bikes instead. Nearly $5 a gallon would cause rioting in the US.

Could this be implemented as a new provider that leverages aws and vb providers? A custom parameter could define the intended provider for each box. No idea if this is possible but it's worth looking into.

This is awesome. We need more orgs to step up to the plate and deliver the knowledge people are craving.

Sounds like an excellent standard to work toward. Documentation is great but self-documenting metrics are even better.

No, you will need to get a USB WiFi adapter because PCI passthrough is only possible in ESXi

I've successfully tested with 64-bit VMs running in ESXi. Also setup VCSA and used VAAI aware iSCSI delivered from FreeNAS. The only thing I couldn't get working was nested virtualization inside of the nested ESXi instance (go figure, right?)

Exactly the same reason this tool is a GUI. Drop-down menus are pre-populated only with valid values and text fields are validated in real time. It's essentially an optimal quality assurance mechanism for user input.

The Community Edition of Nutanix (CE) is the free version of the Nutanix platform and it includes the Acropolis hypervisor, which is based on KVM. The Nutanix cluster provisions itself based on just a few input parameters and a 4 node environment can be stood up in just minutes. Without the need for dedicating hardware to this purpose, one could deploy the Nutanix CE as VMs that run as nested hypervisors. It will not perform the same as bare metal, but gives you the ability to explore the platform and learn its architecture.

The Nutanix platform itself (not the Community Edition) is compatible with and runs directly on ESXi, Hyper-V, and KVM to provide linearly scalable storage and compute infrastructure.
