I’m Daniel — a VMware Black Belt and cloud architect at Oracle, focused on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS), OCI, and enterprise migrations to OCI. This blog is my practical notebook: clear design decisions, lessons learned, and repeatable patterns you can apply in real projects.

Here you’ll find:

• Deep dives into OCVS
• What’s new in OCI
• OCI & OCVS architecture (reference designs, trade-offs, and best practices)
• Infrastructure migration to OCI (frameworks, tooling, and execution tips)
• Disaster recovery architectures and solutions
• Practical recommendations you can reuse across projects

Expect content on: landing zones, connectivity, DNS, vSphere/NSX, HCX, DR architectures, sizing and performance.

New posts are published as I work through real customer scenarios. Bookmark the site or connect on LinkedIn.
