I’m not sure if I’ll take advantage of the cheap certifications this year - in previous years I’ve take
- vRealize Automation
- NSX
- VSAN
- PowerCLI, APIs and automation
Plus I’ll also be looking to pick up any sessions on emerging technologies like Cloud Native Applications, and some of the technology previews for upcoming feature releases. Hopefully there will be some sessions like last year’s excellent vExpert vRA7 briefing.
As it’s my first VMworld US, I am open to suggestions from any veterans on what are the “must-do” activities around the conference, so far on my list…
- I am hoping to join Anthony Spiteri (@anthonyspiteri) for an early round of golf on the Sunday morning - if you’re interested in that you can sign up here
http://anthonyspiteri.net/vmworld-2016-vgolf-las-vegas - The rest of Sunday I will be at
#vmunderground Opening Acts , a nice warm up to the main event which has the added appeal of a BBQ lunch with the vBrisket guys! - I quite like a bit of Fall Out Boy, so the VMworld Party should be fun, I have to be honest that I’ve not been so much a fan of the last few acts in Barcelona!
- I’m assuming there will be a VCDX reception, it’s always great to meet up with fellow VCDXs
- Likewise I’m hoping there will be a vExpert event, though given the numbers of vExpert now it might be a big event!
