Issue deploying CSR on ESXi vSphere 6.5

Managing Your Time When You Have Too Many Things You Want To Do
A friend of mine asked me the following.
“How did you manage your time and schedule for 5 years with everything you wanted and needed to do?”
Here’s the context for that question. For about 5 years, I had a full-time job as a global network engineer for an e-learning company. Later, I transitioned to a similar role for a medical startup, again full-time. At the same time I was employed in those roles, I was blogging and podcasting as the Packet Pushers community grew.
As Packet Pushers ramped up, it turned into a second full-time job, a state I maintained until I was able to transition to working for myself exclusively.

DNSSEC’s role is to verify the integrity of DNS answers. When DNS was written in the early 1980’s, it was only a few researchers and academics on the internet. They all knew and trusted each other, and couldn’t imagine a world in which someone malicious would try to operate online. As a result, DNS relies on trust to operate. When a client asks for the address of a hostname like www.cloudflare.com, without DNSSEC it will trust basically any server that returns the response, even if it wasn’t the same server it originally asked. With DNSSEC, every DNS answer is signed so clients can verify answers haven’t been manipulated over transit.
The Trouble With DNSSEC
If DNSSEC is so important, why do so few domains support it? First, for a domain to Continue reading
