Anyone remember Captain vSAN? What if all VMware by Broadcom Products were Superheroes with Superpowers?
In this blog, we reimagine products like vSphere, NSX, vSAN and VCF as Comic Book Style (Marvel/DC Inspired) characters with epic origin stories.
All description and images were built with ChatGPT and a bit of virtualization-loving creativity.
