VMware Explore US 2023 is here and as always, VMware Cloud on AWS is also getting a fair number of updates. While all updates are important, there are so many of them that I can't do them justice in a blog post. So, in this one, I will only talk about some of my picks [...]
Since its release, a constant stream of features and innovations has kept VMware Cloud on AWS ahead in terms of the flexibility of architecture and the range of design choices it provides to its customers. However, storage is an area where VMware Cloud on AWS has seen the most enhancements, from capability, performance, and cost [...]
Right from the start, VMware Cloud on AWS has been a service that is built to remain at the cutting edge of what VMware has to offer. Due to those updates, one would think there wouldn't be much to announce at VMware Explore. However, one would be wrong here as there are a few updates [...]
Storage has always been a difficult subject for VMware Cloud on AWS. While the default vSAN storage is highly performant and well-engineered, it is not the most cost-effective option.

In my last post, I talked about What's new in vSphere 7 Update 1 when it comes to vSphere. This one covers the important bits (in my view) when it comes to vSAN. Due to the importance of vSAN for most vSphere environments, it's good to see such a number of new features coming through. [...]
I see disaster recovery as one of the best use cases for VMware Cloud on AWS and there is a good reason for it. Typically, the main requirement is to have a degree of geographic separation between the production and DR sites. That means a different datacenter and which automatically means that a lot of [...]
Recently, I attended Cloud Field Day 7 and to my delight, VMware presented some really great technical sessions on VMware Cloud on AWS, which is one of my favourite subjects and an area I focus on heavily at work. The session I am talking about in this post covered some of the enhancements that are [...]
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 [...]
