Attending KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 as a Kubernetes Newbie!

I am luckily enough to be afforded the opportunity to go to my first in-person conference in over 2 years by attending the KubeCon & CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 in Valencia, Spain which is being held on 16th - 20th May 2022. I will be trying to blog some of my experiences whilst I am here!

Using the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager API to deploy the vRealize Suite

I recently worked with a customer to complete a Proof of Concept for the vRealize Suite and how it adds value for both traditional Virtual Machines deployments and also kubernetes deployments (including with VMware Tanzu). In the first session, we immediately hit a challenge because the customer had a non-standard Top Level Domain (TLD) and this meant we could not use the VMware vRealize Easy Installer UI to install vRealize Automation or the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) user interface to install any of the vRealize Suite.
