My home lab is in need of a larger UPS. We have been having sags and drops that are too much for my little UPS. When this happens, my NFS NAS will disconnect from ESX, and that is where I store my ISO images. Instead of rebooting everything, you can just putty into your ESX …

So after working with a customer that started going down the NetScaler as code with Terraform route, I decided to jump in with creating a template to deploy a basic NetScaler configuration from code.
