VMware HCX is a crucial component of the modernization journey for many VMware customers as they transform their data centers into SDDCs, both on-premises and in the public cloud. HCX, an application mobility platform, simplifies application migration, workload rebalancing, and business continuity across data centers and clouds, and enables large-scale migration of workloads to modern environments.
With the HCX 4.0 release, we rolled out some major updates. Now, the journey continues steadily forward with the release of HCX 4.1. Let’s dive in and see what’s new.
One key capability that was launched in HCX 4.0 was Migration Estimation — which provides real-time predictions for bulk migrations. With the HCX 4.1 release, customers will see a more accurate predictive estimate for bulk migrations in draft stage before wave execution.
In the past, failed replication-based migrations, like bulk migrations with HCX, automatically executed a cleanup process, which would lead to a total loss of replicated data. To the customer, this entailed losing all migration progress, while for larger VM profiles this meant the loss of many days of replication progress.

No more tweets: After Twitter removed a tweet by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, the federal government there banned the platform, at least temporarily, because of “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence,” DW.com reports. Some Nigerians are tweeting anyway, but they risk arrest for doing so, […]

Hello my friend,
Have we thought 5 years ago that we would manage to keep the blog running for such a long period of time and would create such a huge amount of useful information for the community? Definitely not. And that’s why it is even important we managed to achieve such a milestone. Thank a lot each of you for your support, ideas, feedbacks, shared on social medias and likes! That means a lot for us. Please, continue doing so 
The last 12 month were absolutely incredible. The COVID-19 pandemic struck word so much that noone could ever believe. As a result, we, pretty much as a whole work, worked from home all past 12 moths… Which was an unusual experience. However, we used this time (in fact, due to no necessity to spend time on commute, we have more time to work) productively working on various projects for you, our dear readers. So, what have we managed to achieve?
One of the massive achievements was to complete the book Network Automation and Programmability Fundamentals, which was published by Cisco Press in May 2021. The journey for us started back in Continue reading
In his Where AWS IPv6 networking fails blog post, Jason Lavoie documents an intricate consequence of 2-pizza-teams not talking to one another: it’s really hard to get IPv6 in AWS VPC working with Transit Gateway and Direct Connect in large-scale multi-account environment due to the way IPv6 prefixes are propagated from VPCs to Direct Connect Gateway.
It’s one of those IPv6-only little details that you could never spot before stumbling on it in a real-life deployment… and to make it worse, it works well in IPv4 if you did proper address planning (which you can’t in IPv6).
