About Virtualization Gurus

About This Blog

Virtualization Gurus is a technical blog focused on enterprise virtualization, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), and modern data center technologies. Our content is written by practitioners with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating VCF environments at scale.

What We Cover

Our primary focus areas include:

• VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF): Architecture, deployment, operations, and lifecycle management
• vSphere & vSAN: Deep dives into the core compute and storage stack
• NSX: Network virtualization, microsegmentation, and NSX Advanced Load Balancer
• Aria Suite: Operations, Automation, and Log Insight
• Multi-cloud: VCF on-premises connecting to public cloud environments

Content Philosophy

Every post on this blog is based on real-world experience. We avoid generic overviews in favor of actionable technical content: the kind of detail you need when you are actually building or troubleshooting a VCF environment.

About the Author

Mohamed Rabiee

Senior Cloud Infrastructure Consultant, evoila

I’m a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Consultant specializing in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and multi-cloud architecture. I’ve delivered 50+ VCF deployments and upgrade engagements for enterprise customers, moving from VMware technical support through a Site Reliability Engineer role at VMware, Pod Lead on 50+ VCF upgrade engagements, to multi-cloud consulting (OCI, GCP) and now partner-level SDDC advisory work at evoila. This blog is where I write up the architecture details, upgrade gotchas, and design decisions from that work, VCF 9 in particular.

Views and content on this blog are my own, based on personal experience, and do not represent the views of any employer, past or present.
