VMUGs and VMworlds

While being extremely busy to complete our upcoming book, Frank and I are planning to deliver our vSphere 6.5 : Host Resources Deep Dive sessions at several VMUG’s. Just last week we had a blast presenting some Compute and Networking content at one of the largest UserCon VMUGs in the world, the NLVMUG. It was one of the best VMUG UserCons I have ever visited. I do love these days as you really get to connect with your peers and share knowledge and experiences! You can’t afford to miss your local VMUG.

It was very good to see that our room was packed! We got loads of positive feedback which is always nice. It is pretty rewarding to see that the VMware community is taking great interest in our content which is basically about the VMware vSphere layer and how host resources are consumed in ESXi 6.5. To give you some impressions of our session last week, check the pictures below:



After thoroughly enjoying the NLVMUG day, we were on the lookout to attend more VMUGs. So, after having contact with several VMUG leaders, it looks like we are presenting at the following VMUGs:

  • Belgium VMUG in Mechelen, 12th of May  (Didn’t work out planning-wise)
  • German VMUG in Frankfurt, 14th of June
  • UK VMUG in London, 22nd of June

If everything follows through, it will be a very good way to meet up with even more people. Be sure to mark these dates your agenda’s, the listed VMUGs are going to be epic!

VMworld 2017

In other news, we also submitted a session for both VMworld US and EMEA 2017. It will be a sequel to our VMworld 2016 top 10 session. Keep an eye out for session ID 1872vSphere 6.5 Host Resources Deep Dive : Part 2.

We will get the book done long before VMworld, so we are really excited to see the reactions on it. We are working effortlessly, as are our reviewers, to get create a book that can help everybody working with virtual datacenters in their daily job!

Hope to see you at a VMUG or at a VMworld conference!

NLVMUG 2016 sessions

This March the 17th, the annual NLVMUG UserCon will be held in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Last year an amazing turnout  of 900+ attendees was reached! It turned out to be one of the largest VMUG world wide. Let’s top that this year!

Make sure you don’t miss out and register here!

NLVMUG

It’s gonna be a full agenda with around 23 sessions divided between VMware, sponsor and community speakers. Next to that there’s  also the boot-camps and 2 keynotes. Speaking at keynote 1 will be VMware’s own Kit Colbert! You can use the breaks to have a look at all the stands. Be sure to talk to as much interesting vendors as possible. Hear them out on what they could bring to your IT challenges.

It will be an action packed day. One could say the NLVMUG is starting to look like, a sort-off, mini VMworld.

Rutger and myself will be there, presenting in our own VMUG community sessions. Check out our time slots:
