When Eight May Not Be Enough for Virtualization
Eight Is Enough was an American comedy / drama that ran from 1977 – 1981. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Is_Enough if you are oddly curious. You may not share my vintage or decided to be productive during those years, but the metaphor relates to interface requirements for VMware hypervisor implementations.
The foundation for private or public clouds is virtualization. This blog entry focuses on the network interfaces used to build a topology for VMware. Specifically, VMware has the concept of port groups and vswitches ( http://www.vmware.com/technical-resources/virtual-networking/ [url reference if you want more detail]). There are many reasons and combinations to choose from relative to this implementation. I will comment on some of them next.
