NOTE: The following content was transcribed and modified from the Thoughts on X podcast embedded above… Click Play if you would like to listen. Last week, I was at an event in Singapore for Cloud Expo, and I was involved in a couple of panels. During the discussion, the narrative was around multi-cloud, hybrid […] Read More
As the use of containerized applications becomes more mainstream (driven by modern application development), so does the need to control costs. For those that are using Kubernetes platforms… in general it is difficult to monitor the costs of Kubernetes resources. There is a black box of operation happening and it is challenging to know which […] Read More
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. My Audible Library has grown, and I listen to a dedicated set of tech industry and business related Podcasts daily. As a content […] Read More
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
I’m currently heading over to the newly renamed VMware Explore and it’s not been lost on me that this is the 10th anniversary of my very first VMworld back in 2012.

Nothing ground breaking by way of features, but a couple specific bug fixes that related to Veeam Backup for RHV v2 which is why I decided to upgrade my HomeLab instance off the bat. I […] Read More
Last year, I got myself a little more involved in the world of Red Hat and general Linux Kernel based Virtualization. It had been a space that I had basically ignored during the last decade working with VMware based virtualization almost exclusively. As I wrote in this post last year, KVM virtualization was something I […] Read More
I’m currently flying back from a week away in Austin Texas attending the first Veeam Tech Expo (inside technical training) in person since June of 2019. It was a long time between drinks to be able to get together with other workmates and just get back into our collective grooves. While we had VeeamON 2022 […] Read More
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
