VMWare Update 2 Timebomb and Risk Mitigation
I am sure you have heard about the VMWare Update 2 fiasco by now. So, VMWare has fixed the issue with an express update, but are there things you can do in your own data center ti mitigate this kind of risk? Gabe Knuth has written an article on BrianMadden.com addressing this specific question. “Some might say that simply splitting the virtualized servers between two or three hypervisors is enough since you’re only shouldering half the outage, but in reality that just makes them 2 or 3 times more prone to a single failure. An airplane with two engines is twice as likely to experience an engine failure as an airplane with one engine, and the same applies here.”
