ChennaiVMUG: Virtual: VCF Operations Extensibility with 'Code' MP Builder

You're invited to the ChennaiVMUG Virtual Event on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM IST.

VMUG Members, Are you ready to extend the power of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) beyond the standard stack? Standard monitoring is just the beginning. To truly master your private cloud, you need the power to extend visibility to every corner of your infrastructure. We are excited to invite you to a special multi-part virtual series: Extensibility with VCF Operations. Whether you are a developer looking for SDKs or an admin seeking no-code solutions, this series has something for you.

After Session 1 with Extensibility overview and MP Builder with "No Code" Its time to switch gear to learn how to programatically deliver extensibility with code in this Session 2.

Session 2: Deep Dive into the Integration SDK (The "With Code" Session) When you need advanced logic, relationships, or complex data manipulation, it's time to open the hood.

• Focus: Building a Custom VCF Operations Management Pack with the SDK — Bridging SaltStack Infrastructure into VCF Ops for Real-Time Inventory, Topology, and Compliance Visibility
• Key Takeaway: Master the programmatic way to ingest data and define complex object relationships for enterprise-scale monitoring.

Future virtual Session 3: Mastering Logs, OS, and Orchestration Visibility isn't just about metrics. In this finale, we bridge the gap between logs and automated actions.

• Focus: Leveraging VCF Operations for Logs, Telegraf agents for OS-level insights, and Management Pack for Orchestrator.
• Key Takeaway: Learn how to trigger automated remediation workflows from alerts and centralize log-to-metric correlation.

Why Attend?

• Centralized Monitoring: Gain a single pane of glass for your entire infrastructure.
• Enhanced Visibility: Get detailed insights into performance and health for non-VCF components.
• Customization: Learn to create your own dashboards, alerts, and metrics tailored to your specific needs.
• Streamlined Workflows: Understand how the newly integrated Management Pack Builder simplifies authentication and deployment.

We look forward to your participation!

Session 1: The No-Code Revolution with Management Pack Builder Stop waiting for vendors to release a management pack. Learn how to use the Management Pack Builder (MPB) to create your own integrations in minutes.

• Focus: Connect to any REST API and map metrics/properties via a wizard-driven interface.
• Key Takeaway: Build custom visibility for your unique hardware or apps without writing a single line of code.
