VMware Explore is only two months away and I cannot wait to be out there in Vegas seeing all the major announcements live!
I also have tons of questions that are simply going through my mind, for example…
- How many attendees are we going to have this year?
- How many times is the word AI going to be mentioned during the opening keynote?
- Are large enterprises going all in VCF for their hybrid cloud infrastructure strategy?
- How many private AI VCF stacks have been built so far? Will I be able to run into anyone using them?
- Is Kubernetes ready to take over the world?
- How are customers guaranteeing that their environments are 100% secured?
- Are customers leveraging DPUs in their infrastructure yet?
And the list goes on and on and on…but before we get too ahead of ourselves, I wanted to share some of my personal recommendations for a few sessions I am particularly looking forward to being a part of. The list of sessions below is not displayed in any particular order. I also tried to select only one sessions per topic to try to keep them diversified.
