While at VMworld a couple of weeks ago I presented a short talk around my journey working with NSX-v and how it has shifted (pivoted) the direction of what I consider to be important in my day to day role. The unexpected part of the journey dragged me kicking and screaming into the world of APIs and dare I say…Devops.

And while I don’t consider myself a DevOp (far from it)…I find myself more and more getting sucked into that world and with that I am trying adjust how I consume IT. In any case if you have a spare 10 minutes have a listen about how NSX kickstarted my interest and got me looking more under the covers of the server platforms and services we sometimes take for granted. Before this change I was comfortable accepting a UI as the only way to interact and consume services…are you?

For those interested the full schedule is here, along with direct links to the YouTube Channel with all the talks.
