Truth be told, I’m a bit tired of online virtual events. OK, some events (and especially speakers) nailed it. They managed to bring better user engagement and interaction, but a lot of the online events I attended in the past 18 or so months (or presented at) didn’t do too well in this area. I ...
With roughly two weeks to go, VMworld 2020 is just around the corner. The number of sessions available in the catalog is HUGE!

AWS re:Invent summary: Queues, queues …. queues everywhere On Monday, November 27nd, AWS re:Invent 2017 kicked of in Las Vegas.
