I was just talking to Mr Alan Renouf and it appears that there are a couple of free slots left at the API/PowerCLI event that VMware has organized in coöperation with Alan on the 8th of October in London.
If you are in London on the 8th October 2010 then you could be in for a treat, VMware are arranging a fantastic event, well worth the visit and best of all its free !
The event is called: Managing vSphere in large environments using APIs and PowerCLI
There are limited spaces available so act now or you will miss out, some of the most fantastic minds of VMware will be gracing London with their presence before heading out to VMworld Copenhagen.
Think of this as a taster of the kind of things you can expect from Technology Exchange, the contents are listed below, I would recommend this to any VMware admins who are managing large implementations of vCenter, there will be some great detail in these sessions.
If you would like to attend please send an email to [email protected] with your name and company, this will strictly be on a first come first serve basis as there are limited numbers.
Exploring VMware APIs
Speaker: Preetham Gopalaswamy
vSphere APIs for Performance Monitoring
Speaker: Balaji Parimi, Ravi Soundararajan
Of course Alan really focussed on the API part of the event, but that is not all there is. If you thought my esxtop page was useful, make sure to attend this event as this is the best part of the day in my opinion:
Advanced performance troubleshooting using esxtop
Level: Advanced
Length: 60 minutes
This talk will teach you how to spot tricky performance issues using the various counters in esxtop.
Speaker: Krishna Raj Raja, Staff Engineer, Performance Team
If you are in the UK and can’t make it to VMworld, this is your chance to catch some of the top experts and get to know the API and esxtop inside out!
