· VSPHERE AUTOMATION

VMware infrastructure that’s repeatable, controlled and rebuildable.

Manual vSphere builds don’t scale. We automate VMware infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines, delivering consistent environments, safer changes, and predictable recovery - including NFS-backed shared storage where it makes sense.

What we automate.

Core vSphere building blocks, standardised and driven by code.

Virtual machine provisioning

VM builds from approved templates

CPU, memory, disk and datastore selection

Consistent naming, tagging and folder placement

Networking & environments

Multi-VLAN and multi-NIC layouts

Environment separation (test, staging, production)

Predictable network placement without click-ops

Storage & performance patterns

Datastore selection based on workload needs

Block and NFS-backed shared storage patterns

NFS design for Kubernetes, shared services and application data

Foundations for database and stateful workloads

Kubernetes-ready foundations

RKE2 / Kubernetes node provisioning

Control-plane and worker role separation

Clean handoff to cluster install and shared storage layers (NFS)

CI/CD-driven infrastructure

Terraform plans reviewed before changes apply

GitLab pipelines with approvals and audit history

Reduced risk from undocumented manual changes

Secure bootstrap & access

Secrets injected securely at deploy time

SSH and access controls separated from infra code

Foundations for tools like Teleport and Vault

How we roll it out.

A structured approach that improves reliability and prevents cost blowouts.

1

Baseline

Define standards for templates, naming, networks, storage and environments.

2

Codify

Build Terraform modules for repeatable VM and NFS storage creation.

3

Pipeline

Integrate GitLab CI/CD with plan, approval and apply stages.

4

Stabilise

Documentation, governance and continuous improvement.

vSphere automation FAQs.

Common questions before teams standardise VMware environments.

Do you support NFS-backed storage?

Yes. We design and automate NFS-backed storage for shared services, Kubernetes workloads and stateful applications.

Can this work across multiple vCenters?

Yes. Terraform layouts can safely target multiple vCenters and environments.

Do we need to rebuild everything?

No - automation can start with new builds and expand gradually without disruption.

Is this suitable for regulated environments?

Yes. CI/CD pipelines provide approvals, audit trails and change visibility.
