#122 - Exploring the world of VCF Edge and Zero Touch Provisioning with Dhruv Tyagi

<p>I read a few articles the last couple of months on the topic of VCF Edge by Dhruv Tyagi , and with the 9.1 release there were a couple of interesting posts about Zero Touch Provisioning, so it was time to invite him to the podcast and explore what VCF Edge is all about. Of course we also touch on things like Zero Touch Provisioning and how it helps customers deploy and manage thousands of hosts across countless locations. A very unique solution for a very specific problem!</p><p><br></p><p>Want to know more, these were some of the documents, blogs, and demos discussed during this episode:</p><p><br></p><p>VCF Edge:</p><ul><li><a href="https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vcf/vcf-9-0-and-later/9-1/design/design-library/vcf-edge-options-and-patterns-9-x.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"> VCF Edge Design Library</a><br></li><li><a href="https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vcf/vcf-9-0-and-later/9-1/design/design-blueprints-for/infrastructure-modernization/vcf-edge-design-for-manufacturing-use-case.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">VCF Edge Design Blueprint for Manufacturing</a><br></li><li><a href="https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vcf/vcf-9-0-and-later/9-1/design/design-blueprints-for/infrastructure-modernization/vcf-edge-design-for-federal-use-case.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">VCF Edge Design Blueprint for Defense</a></li></ul><p>ZTP:</p><ul><li>Blog - <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2026/05/27/zero-touch-provisioning-activating-edge-sites-with-vmware-cloud-foundation-edge-9-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Zero Touch Provisioning: Activating Edge Sites with VMware Cloud Foundation Edge 9.1</a><br></li><li>Demo Video - <a href="https://youtu.be/LaVfUs9TqF8?si=sJNkK8QUQzNFq0BD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Zero Touch Provisioning: Activating Edge Sites with VCF Edge 9.1</a><br></li><li><a href="https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vsphere/vsphere/9-1/esx-installation-and-setup/installing-esxi/installing-esxi-using-vsphere-auto-deploy/using-zero-touch-provisioning/what-is-zero-touch-provisioning-with-auto-deploy%281%29.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Tech Docs for ZTP</a></li></ul>
