Kubecost – Optimizing Spend for Kubernetes

As the use of containerized applications becomes more mainstream (driven by modern application development), so does the need to control costs.

Thoughts on X… A Better Way Forward

 Don’t call this a reboot! It’s no secret that i’ve been caught by the Podcast bug…in fact consuming information via audio has become the number one way that I absorb information.

VMware Explore 2022 Veeam Recap… Sessions and Activities

I must say… it was good to be back at the Mascone Center and San Francisco for VMware Explore 2022. Some people might question my excitement at getting back in person in that city for that event, but as I sit here on the Tuesday after to reflect… all I can express is how good […] Read More

v12 Preview – DRaaS For the Masses Featuring CDP

Disaster Recovery with Veeam Cloud Connect Replication (VCCR) has been a passion of mine since I first saw it demoed at VeeamON 2015 by Luca Dell’Oca back when I was still at ZettaGrid. Seven years later, it’s hard to believe that I was on that same general session stage at the Aria Resort (slightly different […] Read More
