Last year, I attended Ravello Blogger Day 1 (#RBD1) which was about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and relaunch of the Ravello on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This year, I was invited again to attend the second installment of it (#RBD2), which was more of an update on the past year, new things to come but also about [...]
Recently, I was invited to attend vRetreat, a bloggers' event aimed to have a good honest chat with vendors about their products and while at it, have some fun too. Think Tech Field Day but without the streaming (it's a new event so I am sure that will also come with time). If you want [...]
When it comes to IaaS cloud computing, one of the main requirements is the ability to automate all processes. After all, while the cloud environment can just be another platform to host IaaS machines, you wouldn't like to keep building machines manually. Plus, we all want to follow NIST's definition of cloud computing and it's not [...]
A few months back, I reported the return of Ravello with exciting new capabilities in the pipeline. Being a big fan of the technology, I was very excited to know what’s coming and couldn’t wait for its release. Today, I am pleased to say that Oracle is announcing the general availability of Ravello on Oracle [...]
I started Day 2 by posting coverage of Day 1 of VMworld and all things of note since after landing in Barcelona. Then there was the run to the venue.

It's VMworld time again in Barcelona and I am here to meet all my like-minded colleagues. For many people, VMworld in Barcelona starts a little earlier; on Sunday with the vRockStar Party. This party is organised by Patrick Redknap and Marco Broeken (with other volunteers) and has now become a tradition and its popularity is [...]
We have a very special episode for you this time and I thought, it deserves a special mention. We were fortunate enough to get a chance to interview VMware CEO, Pat Gelsinger at VMworld Europe 2017. We started with getting his thoughts on the brilliant VR-Powered Cloud Management demo in the morning keynote session but [...]
I covered Part 1 of the Oracle Ravello Blogger Day in my previous post. This post is all about the second part of the day which was devoted what we were originally invited for: Ravello. Why the silence? To answer that question and start us off, Navin Thadani, VP, Product Development, Oracle Ravello Cloud Service [...]
Last week, I attended the Ravello Blogger's Day at Redwood City, along with many other fellow vExpert bloggers. When I received the invite for it, I had to say yes as I was/am a big fan of the technology, given its potential and the many problems it can solve. Also, I was intrigued to see what [...]
