The vSphere Quick Start Guide has not even been officially published yet(But it will be within 3 weeks, that’s a promise!) and I am already working on a “new” book. Well “new” it’s not actually brand new, it’s an update of “Deploying the VMware Infrastructure” published in 2008 by SAGE/Usenix. I wrote a short article about it back in 2008 when John Arrasjid(@vcdx001) mailed me a copy of the book for reviewing. There’s more info to be found on the previous book at SAGE.
This book is not a technical deepdive. It’s an overview of the VMware product line and where each of these products fit in. We are on extreme short deadlines and will be trying to update the contents of the book before the end of November so we can get it out asap with the help of SAGE/Usenix. I’m very excited I can work with both Steve Kaplan(@roidude) and John Arrasjid on this book as I highly respect both individuals and think they are thought leaders in their respective field of expertise. More info to follow hopefully soon…
Can’t wait to see it!
Good luck with it. The quick start guide came out really good. And I agree, would be awesome to work with Steve Kaplan. He’s a great person and really talented.
