A sincere thank you from the team to the thousands of folks that downloaded and tried out Holodeck 9.0, we appreciate the engagement and feedback. It’s helped us further shape and grow the tool! In today’s fast-paced technological landscape, the ability to rapidly and reliably test new technical capabilities is paramount. While deploying nested VCF environments has always been possible, it often involves time-consuming manual configurations and significant hardware overhead. Holodeck continues to change the game by providing a self-contained, automated, and repeatable solution that dramatically reduces complexity and resource requirements, now with even more robust features. Some highlights: New-HoloDeckConfig: This cmdlet now validates the integrity of the config. json template. If the template file’s integrity does not match, the user will see a warning before a new config file is created for the Holodeck instance. Ideally, users are not expected to modify the template config file; however, there may be edge cases where a customer chooses to do so. In such cases, the warning ensures they are informed of the change. Remove-HoloDeckInstance: This cmdlet has a new optional parameter to support the automated deletion of the holodeck instance. If not specified, then the instance ID will be captured from the global config file. Also, the prompt for user confirmation is removed, instead, the user will have 15 seconds to abort the operation by pressing any key on the console.
