  1. Как перенести любую ВМ с одной платформы на другую: тестируем агентскую миграцию в мультивендорной среде

    Привет, Хабр! Это снова Евгений Шилкин и Степан Татауров, эксперты дивизиона инфраструктуры Группы Rubytech. В прошлой статье мы разобрали подходы к миграции, посмотрели, какие есть альтернативные решения, и обмолвились парой фраз про MIND Migrate Guest. В этой статье — практическая часть, проверим MIND в деле и протестируем его. Что из себя представляет процесс миграции с точки зрения алгоритма и чем он отличается от простого переноса между серверами? В процессе обнаружили несколько интересных находок. Давайте разбираться.

  2. 41 deceptive download sites show a real link, then send you somewhere else

    A network of 41 fraudulent websites has been identified impersonating popular games and Windows software to redirect users toward Download Studio installer. These sites advertise legitimate products including Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Fallout, Roblox, VLC, 7-Zip, and VMware using authentic product information and real download links. The deception employs JavaScript to display legitimate URLs when hovering over download buttons, but redirects users elsewhere upon clicking. Sites target users seeking everyday software and security tools, pushing them through affiliate redirects to Download Studio installation. The campaign is particularly concerning as Download Studio's automatic updater was previously compromised in 2020 to distribute FakeMBAM backdoor and cryptocurrency miners, though no current malicious activity is confirmed.

  3. Build a Private AWS!
    Deploy Apache CloudStack on Ubuntu 24.04 Bare Metal.

    SRE Blueprint:
    • Netplan Bridge: Set up cloudbr0 & disable NIC DHCP.
    • Libvirt Trap: Mask libvirtd.socket & disable AppArmor.
    • Secure Storage: Restrict NFS exports strictly to Management VLANs.
    • VMware Escape Plan: Convert VMDK to QCOW2 with built-in virt-v2v.

  4. oh man so the 150GB of vmdks actually downloaded through the weird permissions web and vpn didn't drop over night. Lettuce pray that converting these to vhd and attaching them to an azure vm actually works.

    If anyone out there has experience with doing this, I would be happy to hear about it or any links shared. Azure migrate can be a long tail solution, but this is a nasty rhel 7.9 vm running an ancient java version, among other things, and migrating this particular nightmare is time sensitive.

  5. Теория миграции ИТ-систем. Чем отличаются подходы вендоров и как с этим дела в разных странах

    Привет, Хабр! В целом, про миграцию и импортозамещение высказался уже практически каждый утюг нашей необъятной родины. Почему мы вообще снова хотим подсветить эту тему? Потому что прошло уже достаточно времени, чтобы осознать: миграция — это не просто оперативное решение проблемы, а новый подход к созданию и поддержанию ИТ-инфраструктуры. Мы в компании работаем в такой парадигме довольно давно, начали задолго до 2022 и роста популярности подобных решений, так что успели накопить достаточно опыта. Статья носит обзщепознавательный характер и будет полезна тем, кому в целом интересны механизмы миграции ИТ-систем — и их ключевые отличия у разных вендоров в разных странах. В следующих статьях цикла мы разберем типы миграции, их алгоритмы и посмотрим на результаты тестирования, чтобы оценить их работу в реальных условиях. А пока…

    5 VMware vulnerabilities.

    One of them is CVE-2026-47876, which allows to escape a VM using the VM virtual network card VMXNET3 using a out-of-bounds write vulnerability. Needs local admin permissions on the VM.

  14. Wow, I knew that the #Broadcom #VMware quite a shit show playing out in public for a lot of former customers. But I did not expect that it is this bad.
    Having it laid out this bluntly (on linkedin) is something else...

  15. I am really impressed with #Proxmox now. Not that I wasn't already, but on many previous attempts, I failed to run #macOS on #VMware on an #AMD CPU.

    And here comes Proxmox: first try, installed #Tahoe, and it just works. There were a few minor hiccups, but in general, it was pretty easy thanks to github.com/lucid-fabrics/osx-p

    I have an #iOS app I need to maintain for a customer, and I refuse to buy #Apple hardware just for that. I don't want to give that greedy blood sucking company a single cent. I was using services like MacInCloud, but for the time being, I can use this VM.

    Unfortunately, I think Tahoe will be the last version to run on x86. I will probably be lucky if I can squeeze one more year of life out of this VM solution. But every second counts.

  16. I’m excited to be attending VMware Explore this year in Las Vegas. Here are some of the sessions I am looking forward to attending.

  17. I like a fresh lab. I do not like building one for the umpteenth time, especially when the build takes longer than the thing I actually wanted to test.

    build-lab is the final piece in a three-script set, and the one that ties the other two together. One command, an ISO, and roughly half an hour later you have a Windows Server 2025 domain controller. Log on once and the domain populates itself with a directory that looks lived in, nested groups and GPOs and an Enterprise CA included. No GUI, no answer file to hand-edit, no clicking Next.

    This is an orchestrator. It calls New-VMwareWorkstationVM to build and start the VM, pushes the new-AdDomain payload into the guest over vmrun, and kicks off the promotion. Still PowerShell 5.1, still nothing outside what Microsoft and VMware already ship.

    One thing is deliberately manual. Directory population runs from a scheduled task that fires at your first Administrator logon, so you do have to log into the console once. I could automate it by storing a domain Administrator password under a startup-triggered task. That's the one compromise I decided not to make, even in a lab, and I'm still not certain it was the right call.

    The interesting problem was verification. A successful AD promotion reboots Windows immediately, which tears down the vmrun guest-operations channel mid-call. A blocking call hung on that reboot and never came back. So the guest script gets launched fire-and-forget, which means there is no exit code to read. Just silence.

    Instead, build-lab confirms success by polling for ntds.dit in the guest, and pulls the guest's deployment logs back to the host either way, because the run you need logs from is the one that failed.

    What's the step in your lab build that you've rebuilt by hand so many times you've stopped noticing it?
