VMworld EU 2018 - My Session Picks
It’s that time of the year. VMworld Europe is rapidly heading for us and the schedule builder has been opened! If you’re going to VMworld for technical training and are planning on visiting breakout sessions, keep the list below in mind. I’ve laid out my picks when it comes to Networking & Security related (NSX Data Center & SD-WAN, Network Insight, and AppDefense).
These picks are based on the presenters and knowing they have a good story and some inside knowledge that they’re going to be awesome. For instance, Accelerate App Security and Availability with vRealize Network Insight [SAI2555BE] is going to be off the chain!
Yes, this is a lot and yes, some are overlapping. You can watch the ones that you & I missed when the recordings come online. You definitely need to experience SAI2555BE in real life though. ;-)
