Five VMware Explore Recordings worth watching! (Deep Dive’s mainly)

Duncan Epping · Sep 8, 2022 · Leave a Comment

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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”.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Top 15 VMware Explore Sessions to attend!

Duncan Epping · Jul 12, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Every year over the past decade or so I have done this “Top 15/20 VMworld Sessions to attend” post, although VMworld no longer exists and VMware created this new event called VMware Explore, I feel that this tradition does need to live on! I went over the full catalog and picked the 15 sessions I feel are “must-watch” content. Now, to be clear, this is my opinion and you may not agree, and that is fine! If you feel a session is missing, just drop a note in the comment section so people can see what else they should consider watching/attending!

Before we start the list, I do want to mention that Frank Denneman, William Lam, and I will be part of a panel session hosted by Pete Flecha and John Nichsolson, aka the Virtually Speaking Podcast crew. The Title of the session is: “60 Minutes of Virtually Speaking Live: Accelerating Cloud Transformation [MCLB2804US]“. Make sure to register as soon as you can, as I am sure that this one will fill up fast!

Here we go, please note that this is a mix of “live/in-person” and “on-demand” sessions, and the sessions are in no particular order!
