NSX ALB LetsEncrypt with DNS-01 challenge - BIND example

    In some of my previous posts, mentioned here LetsEncrypt script integration and Script parameter usage , I explained how useful it can be for NSX advanced load balancing solutions to utilise this kind of approach for free and automatic certificate manipulation, especially in environments with large number of web services inside. This approach utilises HTTP-01 based challenge with LetsEncrypt systems and L7 HTTP/S virtual services on NSX ALB side.     Now, from some time ago there is enhancement in this area, developed by official Avi Networks devops page, in terms of using DNS-01 challenge also. I tried on-prem option using Bind DNS as server which works very well.     Steps are pretty much similar to HTTP-01 option, which can be summarised as following:      - Create L7 virtual service with publicly available FQDN - certificates resolved can be in both options RSA or ECDSA, as configured during creation;        - Do...

NSX ALB routing - multiple floating IP and BGP setup

Image
     Recently, I had very interesting scenario around NSX ALB (ex Avi Networks) setup with multiple networks, NAT's and no-NAT's, but more important routing requirement inside Customer environment. As you are aware of - NSX ALB Service engines have multiple NICs - to be more accurate there are 1 management + 9 data interfaces, which can be used with different configurations depending on actual needs and infrastructure. In my specific case, there were following assumptions which were successfully deployed across virtual service configuration: - external network (from NSX ALB perspective) - based on Cisco ACI SDN solution, where basically different L3-outs (specific ACI setup) for multiple NSX ALB needs were configured directly on Cisco platform. For this purpose, we will introduce VRF named XYZ, specifically created for connections mentioned above; - there is a need for multiple floating IP + BGP config in place on NSX ALB SE's, which can be found on this link  Defaul...

VMware SD WAN (Velocloud) on prem lab guide

Image
    For the purpose of lab playground and explore on different features from VMware SD WAN (ex Velocloud) solution, it's possible to relatively easy deploy required solutions inside demo environments. Full on prem production infrastructure requires use of VMware professional services for proper deployment and installation, with cloud based as most preferred option by vendor itself.     Setup requires a couple of OVA files for deployment, like in  typical VMware environments: - vCO - orchestrator, for the purpose of configuration and management plane, - vCG - gateway, for the purpose of control plane function, - vCE - edge, data plane establishment and possibly the only hardware piece in SD WAN setup (also available as OVA of course).     Successful setup comprises next steps: 1) classic OVA deployment of vCO and vCG components - vCO/vCG. For vCO and vCG you have option to dedicate 1 or 2 interfaces for the purpose of communication with external/in...
