AWS Summit Review by a VMware guy – Part 1
So today, I attended the AWS Summit in San Francisco. This is my first non VMware conference, so I admit I was a little excited to attend the conference. I thought it would be a good to write an AWS Summit Review from a VMware guys perspective. So welcome to Part 1. Disclaimer: If you don’t know, I work for VMware in the vCloud Hybrid Service Business Unit. You will not find anything in this article that is in any way detrimental to VMware or its services. If your looking for that, sorry. Right, now thats out the way, lets talk about the day, and provide an intro to my later posts. One of the cool things about the AWS Summit is the fact that its free! Yes free! I like this idea, as it means a lot of people who don’t/cant haver the means to pay $$$ for conferences […]

Change of focus
Most people who read my blog will have noticed the change of domain names. I wrote a brief article on the change here Quite a few people on my travels over the past few weeks have asked why I changed? What was my thinking? Why the change of focus? Well, the main reason for changing domain names (I touched on it in the article announcing the change) was that I want to start writing articles that are just not virtualization focused. Why you may ask? Well for me, I find writing down my thoughts on topics that interest me very valuable. It allows me to consider my options, and gives me a way of thinking while I write. So for example, one of my other favourite topics outside of virtualization is cars. I know a few people appreciated seeing my article about a Mercedes C32 AMG vs BMW E46 M3 […]
