What is the Automation Desk and what should it become?

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. - Bill Gates Do you have to do that (tedious) task every day? Do you have to deploy Veeam environments quite often? Don't want to do clickety click every time you need to create a new job? Want to reduce the possibility of "Human error"? Step in to the Automation Desk! These are just examples of topics that you could find or ask for at our Desk. Within the Automation Desk, you can ask and share anything Automation. As long as it is Veeam Related. Not sure? Ask one of the leaders. You can find them on the right side of the groupWhat can you add / do in the Automation Desk?Ask any Automation question Create (blog) posts related to automation or share news Join special events Share your thoughts, ideas, struggles etc. Automate!

What is the Kubernetes Korner and what should it become?

The Korner is a place where you can start your Kubernetes Journey.Veeam understood correctly that a huge group of IT specialists will need to get familiar with Kubernetes at an accelerate time frame because the demand for specialists will grow exponentially. However, this is much easier said than done given the fact that many people are working a full-time job and perhaps still believe that they have not yet achieved enough expertise in existing technologies that they are working with.The Kubernetes Korner will help everyone overcome these difficulties and learn together. What can you do at the Kubernetes Korner? Do the daily Kube Task, a brief Kubernetes task in an environment that we help you setup Ask any question you may have Create posts. Watch out for special events and meetings that are Cloud Native related Think of any ideas for the Kube Korner, this is your Korner too! We are all on this learning path together and our joint efforts will result in everyone’s common success!!

Connecting Enterprise Manager to VBR with activated MFA

Hey Folks,just curious if its a bug or working as intended: It’s a brand new VBR and VBEM environment (V12.3) on a customer site. Currently it’s in onboarding/configuration phase. We have configured Roles, MFA and stuff like that. Currently the local user veeam-administrator is marked as a Service Account - so for this specific account, no MFA is required. We use this Account for making the initial connection between Enterprise Manager and VBR. After entering the required informations, we get the error message: Six-digit confirmation code is required.    As you can see in the User & Roles section within VBR, its correct marked as a Service-Account.   So my next step was to temporary disable the whole MFA function within VBR. After that, connecting VBEM with VBR is working as expected.   Re-enabling MFA in VBR after that, was not a problem at all and VBEM can further communicate with VBR, as it’s on certificate-based authentication.  I didn’t find informations, if this is working as

Veeam One Virtual Centre Connections

Morning Veeam Gnu’s ;)Got a fiddly one that I can’t figure out.Veeam One server sits in DR Datacentre. If the link between the Prod and DR datacentre goes wobbly, Veeam One loses its connection and we start to get spurious reports such as snapshots that no longer exist on VMs but still appear in the report.The fix is odd - retype the service account password in Virtual Centre and retry the connection.Is there reg key where I can turn down the sensitivity of Veeam One for the VC connection ? Thanks Phil
