+5Principal Solution Architect Tim Hudson & Myself sit down for a chat to talk about console 9.4 on Linux all while we install it live! We discuss the install process, why the Devs decided to go this route, what might change in GA and an open ask to give us your feedback so we can tell the PM team. Check it out!!!
+22👀-- definitely interested in this for sure and will try to provide some feedback.

+12Awesome to see! Excited to try to convert our infra over to this once it is out and there’s a path to migrate the MSSQL DB data over.
+1 on HA. IIRC there are some docs to do it with MSSQL and multiple web servers today, but it isn’t super clean. Linux and HA on the VBRs themselves would be nice to have too since that is currently for on premises only.
I personally see the appliance route both ways. I’m sure some people would like to see it, personally I’d rather the capability to deploy this into your infrastructure however you choose as well. We are already moving a lot of our infrastructure over to containers where we can so that capability is great to see and is our preference. I’m actually cutting some of our customer portals over to Kubernetes as I type this coincidentally enough.

He mentions in the video it is available to SEs and V100, so hopefully there’s a V100 post coming soon

Ah, I had not watched the full video. Here is hoping for a post.
It’s our understanding the PM team has concluded that an Appliance deployment model would more likely fit what our VCSPs would want to consume. We will cross-post to v100!

Sounds good Tim. I have started the video and will watch it. Looking forward to seeing this progress and getting an appliance deployment to test as well. 😎

Thanks so much for the feedback, Jonah. I can tell you that I knew we would hear something from you so thanks for watching!
Regarding your own container deployments we’ve heard from other providers that while the VCSPs are using containers in their infrastructure most “normal” customers still aren’t utilizing container tech much. I see the same in my partner/their customer base.
Are you ever sharing your PostgreSQL databases between Veeam systems? If VSPC is an appliance with built-in Postgres then we would likely not be able to share DB instances anymore as that functionality would be locked down/out. What do you think?

We currently are still on MSSQL, we have it on our roadmap to move the VBRs to PSQL soon™. That being said, we try to do a dedicated DB/VM per system today for both VBR and VSPC. A few years ago we had some cases where people were trying to put VBR/ONE/SPC on the same SQL server internally and it did not go well.
I think appliances definitely make sense for the standard customers and maybe even smaller VCSPs, I imagine the larger orgs would want the ability to tune/customize how they’re hosting things which is where I could see containers coming in. Plus, it would allow for at least some kind of pseudo-HA as you could theoretically replicate the PSQL DB, maybe even put it behind pgbouncer and connect multiple VSPCs to it. I feel like I saw that design in the User Guide or Best Practices site a few years back but I could be mis-remembering.
