The way things were going, it didn't seem likely that I'd be attending Cloud Field Day 7 but that's the way things are in the Tech Field Day family and all of a sudden, I am also a part of this instalment now. As you would expect these days, the event will be held [...]
vSphere 7.0 has brought a fundamental change - not only in how the platform is built but also how the resources that are run on top are managed, in the form of native integration of Kubernetes. Being an integral part of the platform, the underlying networking also had to be adapted accordingly and NSX 3.0 [...]
It was time for vRetreat 2020 and Patrick invited me to attend as always. How could I say no! We were all set to go but then things changed and this version of vRetreat was turned into a virtual event. However, you can always count on the vCommunity to make any event a success, even [...]
A week or two ago, a team of the great people at VMware got together to create a VMware appliance, in order to help out with the Folding@Home project. The project has been around for many years but Amanda Blevins was instrumental in galvanizing the VMware community to donate their spare CPU/GPU cycles to the [...]

In recent times, organisations have become more aware of the need to develop applications that closely align with their core business and that has been taking priority, rather than the platform that used to be the most important factor in the past. Recognising this trend, VMware has been working towards integrating its portfolio products to [...]

Last night, I sat and looked back at the past one and thought to myself, boy, what a decade it has been! It was the hardest one that I lived through, especially considering that at one point, I didn't expect to at all! Quite a few major events happened in the last decade that affected [...]
There has been a major shift in how applications are developed, tested and deployed in recent years. Such is the need for speed in today's fast-paced product release cycle that in addition to development methodologies, it has also changed the architecture in which they are deployed. Transition to this new development paradigm will be gradual [...]
Object storage is plentiful, durable and cheap. That makes it the ideal storage mechanism for long-term or archive storage. In fact, it's so cost-efficient that many traditional storage appliances, primarily targetted at on-premises environments, also make use of object-based storage to achieve cost-efficiencies. With all this data stored on object storage and on a cloud [...]
