This project would not have come to the world without the contributions of numerous others.
First of all my Wife, without whom I wouldn’t be where I am and who is very understanding
of my need to do this work despite giving it away for free. Thanks Tracey.
Nick Marshall A previous project with Nick led to this project. His testing and QA on the
lab build through its various stages were invaluable.
Grant Orchard for the vSphere 5.1 build.
Damian Karlson for adding vCloud Director to the AutoLab, documenting Fusion 5 setup,
bug fixes, and adding features.
James Bowling for documenting the full Fusion 4 setup for the AutoLab.
Ariel Antigua for hanging out on the AutoLab support forum and helping out when people
have troubles.
Veeam aside from producing some great software that supports virtualization and then giving
plenty of it away for free, Veeam is also sponsoring the AutoLab, making it much easier for
us to develop new versions that support more products.
FreeNAS The storage platform for the lab. Having an open source storage option makes the
lab possible. This lab uses version 8.2.
FreeSCThe router on a floppy. Another open source project that does great things and asks
little in return.
JouninTFTPd More free software; this time the file transfer tool of the PXE environment
used tbuild the ESXi servers.
VMware for having such a great virtualization platform. I was amazed how much less
resource the lab takes to run on ESXi than VMware Workstation.
Microsoft for providing the operating system we most often need to virtualize.
The beta test crew, the #vBrownBag team as well as some Kiwi and Australian helpers.
