We will be presenting Onyku®, IT collaboration through Open Knowledge principles, at the Norwegian VMUG 19 May 2025.
Onyku® is an open-source, vendor-neutral project, originally conceptualized by a VMware IT professional to address real-world challenges. While its roots lie in the VMware ecosystem, Onyku® is designed to be broadly applicable across platforms and vendors.
Sharing Knowledge (POC stage)
This module enables IT professional to create and share Design Guidelines in a standardized format. The design qualities are inspired by the VCDX blueprint. The principles are universally applicable to any IT design.
IT Design (Vision stage)
Born from hands-on experience with VMware Validated Solutions and third-party integrations like Red Hat OpenShift, this module aims to streamline how we create, consume, and share IT designs across solution and vendors.
The goal is ambitious yet simple: if Onyku® can model a comprehensive VMware solution — including third party components like physical networks — it should be capable of supporting any IT design, regardless of technology or vendor.
Next-Gen documentation (Idea stage)
The concept of “Next-Gen documentation” stems from the need for more focused, role-based technical content. While a VMware professional should understand the full stack, most roles benefit from curated, relevant documentation tailored to their specific responsibilities.
