Gain foundational knowledge of ESXi technology and understand why it is such a dominant force
in the datacenter. This book also looks beyond ESXi to other vSphere technologies such as
virtual machines (VMs) vMotion and vCenter Server. Knowing how these technologies complement
ESXi running on a Raspberry Pi will help you get the most out of ESXi on Arm technologies. This
marks a significant change for ESXi and has created new learning opportunities and use cases
for both seasoned ESXi users and users completely new to the virtualization space. For those
already familiar with ESXi but new to the Raspberry Pi you'll develop an in-depth
understanding of this device and why it has become such a popular platform for technologists.
Once you've learned the fundamentals you'll be introduced to enterprise edge and personal
use-cases for this technology. Then you'll be walked through the process ofinstalling ESXi on
a Pi as well as managing and monitoring it. You will also come to recognize its strengths and
limitations and become familiar with the storage and networking options that are currently
available. Lastly given the fact that the sole purpose of running ESXi on a Pi is to run VMs
on it you'll receive detailed step-by-step instructions for installing popular OSes including
Ubuntu CentOS and Raspberry Pi OS. What You'll Learn Build a fully functional ESXi server on
a Raspberry Pi Select the correct hardware for particular use cases Create and optimize virtual
machines running on a Pi Run Kubernetes on a Pi running ESXi Who This Book Is ForThose new to
the datacenter who want a low-cost way to work with one of the most powerful datacenter
technologies to experienced datacenter professionals who need to use ESXi on Arm to complement
their enterprise's long-term strategic goals.
