I was going over the content I recommended before the event, and of course, there were a bunch of sessions I did not get to see live. I’ve been catching up on those sessions this week and I figured I would share my five favorite sessions with you that have deep technical content. There are loads of great sessions in the Explore Catalog, so I may have missed a few on this list, but these are the sessions that I felt were deep and useful! I recommend watching these.
- CEIB1576US – Project Monterey Behind the Scenes: A Technical Deep Dive
This session goes over what the vSphere Distributed Services Engine is, how it has been implemented, and what the benefits are. It also provides some insights on what to expect in the near future of this feature. - INDB2406USD – Deconstructing vSAN – A Deep Dive into the Internals of vSAN
This session goes over the vSAN internals and shows the data path, the emphasis here is mainly on the new Express Storage Architecture (ESA).- CEIB2172US – Get to Know the Next-Generation of vSAN Architecture
This session overlaps with the above, but it has some extra details shared by one of the lead engineers on vSAN ESA. So this isn’t session 3, but more 2b.
- CEIB2172US – Get to Know the Next-Generation of vSAN Architecture
- CEIB1236US – Vision for Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery as a Service
I attended this session live, and it basically previews an upcoming solution for recovery from a ransomware attack. I loved how it shows you where the attack potentially occurred, and I love that there is a next-gen anti-virus scanner integrated to scan the snapshots on restores so that you don’t go back to an infected “point in time”. - CEIB2325US – VMware Edge Compute Stack Reference Architecture Deep Dive
This session goes over the VMware Edge Compute Stack 2.0 which was mentioned in various keynotes at the event. - CEIB1432-3-4-USD – Tech Deep Dive into Azure VMware Solution / Google Cloud VMware Engine / Oracle Cloud VMware Solution
Yes, I am cheating again, but I can’t just list one when there are sessions on each of the offerings. I feel it is important to understand the details before you decide on which platform works for your multi-cloud implementation.
