For Cloud Field Day 4, we were invited to Cohesity and were greeted with a very nice breakfast and who would have thought cake could taste that good, that early in the morning! Cohesity has now become a veteran of Tech Field Day events and knows exactly what/how to present to those delegates. While the [...]
Aviatrix Systems presented their product "Aviatrix" at Cloud Field Day 4. For those who don't know, they are all about multi-cloud networking and automation of it. Their aim is to simplify cloud networking for hybrid scenarios in a secure and scalable way. Major public clouds like AWS, Azure and Google are already supported and support [...]

I've been a keen follower of Tech Field Day for many years. While scheduling some time for Cloud Field Day 4 live sessions, I forced myself past the procrastination and filled the delegate form.

In Part 1 of this post, I talked about the first two sessions of the day. In this one, I will cover the rest. Don't worry as there aren't that many slides in this one. Let's continue with the slides for a bit and then I'll give you my two pence as well. Sessions (continued) After [...]
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 [...]

After all, while the cloud environment can just be another platform to host IaaS machines, you wouldn't like to keep building machines manually.
