Register for VMworld sessions ASAP or miss out
Posted by on July 20, 2011
This year VMware are enforcing session registration for VMworld, my understanding is that if you don’t register and a session is full, you wont get in!! this is a good thing IMHO, in previous years there have been long queues (although I hope they have better badge-scanners than in the past, otherwise there are mad [...]

vApp sprawl in the cloud
Posted by on September 1, 2010
This question came up in a session at VMworld, if vApps are being used to deploy entire self-contained and silo’d application stacks won’t that lead to massive VM sprawl. Because cloud deployments are less considered and are a result of quick instant gratification provisioning in the private/public cloud by business units who don’t necessarily [...]
vApps moving centre-stage
Posted by on September 1, 2010
vApps were introduced as part of the vSphere 4 release but were largely a forgotten area of functionality until now. The concept of a vApp is as a bar-code for an IT service, where that service consists of a number of inter-dependent virtual machines containing applications that provide a service – for example a [...]
VMworld 2010 SF – Day 1
Posted by on August 31, 2010
I took a different approach to VMworld this year, usually I try to cram in as many sessions as possible and don’t usually spend much time on the hands-on labs. – this year I am planning to do a 60/40 mix of labs and sessions. Because the sessions are audio recorded I can review [...]

Wow, the setup is impressive, there is a massive self-paced labs room in Moscone West, offering 480 multi-lab seats, unlike previous years there are no specific areas for each lab, each [...]

Posted by on May 25, 2010
This year VMware have changed the way they are planning the VMworld sessions, this year there is a list of sessions that are open to a public vote, Mark has a great post on the selection process here – I think it’s a great way to get the most wanted content at the event. I [...]
Getting access to VMworld content if you couldn’t make it in person
Posted by on October 25, 2009
Now the noise around VMworld has calmed down I thought I would let you know that the vast amount of excellent technical content that was presented at the event itself is available to stream online or as an MP3 (audio only) or slide download (audio only). As you’d expect, the catch is it’s not [...]
