Trying to Follow Holodeck ToolKit

[Lee Sands]

Hi all i am trying to follow the Holodeck Toolkit and i am missing files for 

These files are only available if you have a Broadcom Support account with valid entitlements:

• VMware Aria Automation Lifecycle 
• VMware Cloud Builder 5.1.1.0 
• power-validated-solutions-for-cloud-foundation-main.zip
• powershell-module-for-vmware-cloud-foundation-main.zip

How do we follow it now

Hi Lee,

Yes, you need a broadcom support account with valid entitlement. Holodeck provides a method to deploy a nested VCF setup, however the end-user needs to have the appropriate entitlement for VCF.

If you do not have the entitlement, you can explore other options like VMware Hands On Labs (HoL) https://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalog

Thats fair enough but i cant get the level of hands on that i would like with that.

Edit :  When i am at work i dont have as much time to sit and do online training bewteen calls hence the manual approch 

Untill about 2 months ago i could get access to trials and all sorts but now everything is behind a Paywall i hape HPE Servers that i even cant get ISO for anymore 

What was the cause for that ? 

Kind Regards 

Lee

Basically Broadcom decided to go the paywall way and there is nothing anyone can do about it. If you have a broadcom entitlement through your work, I would suggest you to download those bits for your holodeck lab. That is the only thing you can do at this time to get them for free without paying for VCP-VCF Certification or VMUG Advantage and the certification etc. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get the bits at this time.

So the Short and sweet is i cant follow this project, no worries i will delete all the files i did have till a time we can get access 

Thank you for all your help
