VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen – Pools & Pool Groups

My previous blog explained the VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen – Images. In this blog, I will explain which steps you need to take to create a pool and how to add the pool to a pool group and entitle the group.

Pools

To create a pool you must have a published image. The pool will use the published image to create a group of VMs within the chosen provider.

Pool Groups

A Pool Group is, as the name suggests, a group of pools. The pool group can contain multiple pools on different edge deployments and can also contain pools of different VM sizes and workload profiles.

Images allows us to provide desktops and publish application to end-users in Azure. You can add images from the Azure Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Compute Gallery, or create your own Custom VM in Microsoft Azure. In this blog I will use the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

VMware Horizon Cloud Next-Gen – Prerequisites

This blog post is part of a series of posts I will be creating regarding the Horizon Cloud Next-Gen deployment. In this post, I will explain the prerequisites for Horizon Cloud deployment. Coming posts in the series will have topics like image deployment, Pool creation, App Deployment, Dynamic Environment Manager integration, and maybe more.

Prerequisites

If you are new to Horizon Cloud on Azure and want to deploy a greenfield environment you will need to configure several items on Microsoft Azure before you can deploy Horizon Cloud. In this blog post, I will explain how to configure these prerequisites in Microsoft Azure but also some other prerequisites for the Horizon Cloud deployment.

VMware Explore home lab hardware – Part 2

In my previous post, I showed my struggles with installing ESXi on the NUC I got from Cohesity and the vExpert program. In this post, I will show you what I have been up to since then.

With a lot of help from the vExpert community, especially Daniël Zuthof and William Lam, I now have the missing pieces to complete the puzzle.

Change DNS on Horizon DaaS 9.x appliance

In the previous versions of Horizon DaaS, you had to change DNS via the interfaces file and the resolv.conf file. Since VMware upgraded the OS of the Horizon DaaS appliances to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS these changes must be done via netplan. Below I will explain how to use netplan.

VMware Explore home lab hardware

I was one of the lucky ones that received a fantastic piece of hardware (NUC) for a home lab. The hardware giveaway was sponsored by Cohesity and the vExpert community. Again a big thanks!!!

VMware, Workspace ONE

Unable to start all WS ONE Connector services

I recently created a test/development environment for Workspace ONE UEM, Access, and Horizon Cloud (Next-Gen). The goal was to develop Zero Day onboarding. For Zero Day onboarding, an AD group is needed; therefore, I tried to install a Workspace ONE Connector server on Azure resources.

Because the environment is for testing and development I didn’t need a server that was according to VMware’s sizing guidelines for connector servers. See hardware requirements.

I choose a Standard B2s (2 vCPUs, 4 GiB memory) from the Azure marketplace and started the installation. The same steps were used for the installation as shown in How to migrate Workspace ONE Connector.

How to migrate Workspace ONE Connector

Until Horizon DaaS 9.1.2 only Identity Manager connector 19.03.0.1 could be used to access the Virtual Apps Collections however Identity Manager connector 19.03.0.1 has been out of general support since 2022-08-31. As of September 27th Workspace ONE Access connector 22.09 has been released (release notes). This version supports Virtual Apps Collections on Horizon DaaS 9.1.4 (released October 2022). Horizon DaaS 9.1.4 and Workspace ONE Access connector 22.09 will create a supported environment again.

In this post, I will show you the steps on how to migrate from the (legacy) connector 19.03.0.1 to Workspace ONE Access connector 22.09.

Migration steps.

Workspace ONE Access: VMware Verify End-of-Life

Vmware Verify is a multi-factor authentication (MFA) service that allows verification using 3 methods, Push approval with OneTouch notification, Time-based One Time Password, and text messages. VMware Verify was easy to integrate with VMware Workspace ONE Access to create a multifactor authentication.

End of life

VMware Verify will reach end-of-support (EoS) and end-of-availability date (EoA) on October 31st, 2022. The mobile application will be removed from the App Store and Play Store on this date. Current users will also be unable to use the application for any second-factor authentication.
