About

The Any Stack Architect is a technical blog run by Eric Black, an infrastructure architect with deep hands-on experience across VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, Proxmox, Veeam, Kubernetes, and multi-tenant service provider environments. This is where real-world lessons get written down: the architecture decisions, the failure modes, the things vendor docs don't tell you.

Always Free. No Exceptions.

This site will never be behind a paywall. Every article, guide, and deep dive published here is, and always will be, completely free to read. No paid tiers, no premium content, no subscriptions required. Good technical writing should be accessible to everyone.
