It’s the time of year again for VMworld and now comes the unpleasantness of choosing sessions and fighting them out against each other for time slots, last year my session list was basically completely dominated by NSX sessions. Taken a bit more of a broad view, instead with some cool stuff around service provider networking/administration, offering services to customers as well as a few bits and pieces around VSAN, NSX and Cloud Native computing.
