Optimize Kubernetes on vSphere with Event-Driven Automation
summary
A downloadable appliance called VMware Event Broker Appliance listens to vCenter, converts vSphere alarms and the 1800+ vSphere events into CloudEvents + Knative payloads, and runs small functions on Kubernetes to notify Slack, enrich alarm data, or trigger remediation. Demos show it detecting live VMotion migrations and posting Slack alerts; the project connects one vCenter per appliance, runs on Kubernetes, and handles hundreds/sec tested throughput in practice.
