That wasn't intentional, but a side-effect of some shifting priorities with a new position at work. I'm no longer on the team responsible for our VMware environment and am now more focused on cloud-native technologies and open-source DevOps solutions. The new role keeps me pretty busy, and I'm using what free time I have to learn more about and experiment with the technologies I use at work. + +That (unfortunately) means that I won't be posting much (if at all) about VMware-related things (including the [vRA8 series of posts](/series/vra8/))[^vra8] going forward. Instead, expect to see more posts about things like [containers](/tags/containers/), [infrastructure-as-code](/tags/iac/), [self-hosting](/tags/selfhosting/), and [miscellaneous tech projects](/series/projects/) that I play with. + +I decided to migrate, rebrand, and re-theme my blog to reflect this change in focus. Virtually Potato used a [theme heavily inspired by VMware design language](https://github.com/chipzoller/hugo-clarity), and I don't think it's a great fit for the current (and future) content anymore. It was also a very feature-rich theme which provided a lot of capability but made it a bit tricky to modify/maintain my personal tweaks. The new Runtime Terror[^pun] site uses a [more minimal theme](https://github.com/joeroe/risotto) which takes cues from terminals and markdown formatting. It's also simpler and thus easier for me to tweak. I've done a lot of that already and anticipating doing a bit more in the coming weeks, but I wanted to go ahead and make this thing "live" for now. + +I've copied all content from the old site (including post comments), and set things up so that all existing links should seamlessly redirect. Hopefully that will make for a pretty easy transition. + +Thanks for sticking with me. + + +[^vra8]: I had a lot of cool things I wanted to explore/document with vRA8 and I'm sad that I won't get to "complete" this series. I no longer run a vRA8 instance in my homelab (it's a resource hog and I needed the RAM for other things) though so I don't anticipate revisiting this. + +[^pun]: is a pun, and I'm a sucker for puns. \ No newline at end of file
