VMware Explore Barcelona 2024 presentations now available

by // 2 Comments

I came to learn during the week of VMware Explore Barcelona 2024, that the breakout sessions were not going to be recorded, but the presentations would be available only shortly after the conference. I was just reminded by a colleague who asked if I could update my  VMware Explore 2024 Session URL Github repo, so that it included the published presentations (PDF format), so it could be easily searchable by the community.


As you can see from the screenshot of my repo, there are a total of 155 presentations that have been published from VMware Explore Barcelona 2024 and into the following 5 categories:

  • Cloud Infrastructure (124)
  • Innovation (10)
  • Modern Applications (12)
  • Network, Security & Load Balancing (12)
  • Software-Defined Edge (11)

While the majority of the sessions were a repeat from VMware Explore Las Vegas 2024, I know many of the presenters had updated their content and so it might be good to re-watch the Las Vega sessions (which you can find the full list HERE) and grab the latest presentations from Barcelona.

First Look at VMware Cloud Foundation 9

by // 6 Comments

The big news from last week at VMware Explore Las Vegas was the announcement of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9!

For those that attended the VCF Division Keynote 3 Transformations for the Smarter Way to Cloud, you got to hear more about VCF 9 directly from both Krish Prasad (General Manager of VCF Division) and Anu Kirpekar (Head of VCF Platform Engineering).


In addition, I also had the privilege of sharing with the audience several brand new VCF 9 demos showcasing the evolution of the VCF platform from a new simplified VCF Installer to the unified and integrated Operations and Automation experience to better support our end users whether that is for the infrastructure and operations team to the platform engineering and consumer teams.


If you were not able to attend the session or you were not at VMware Explore, you can watch the recording at https://www.vmware.com/explore/video-library/video/6360759075112, which is completely free and does not even require a login!

For a complete list of all the VMware Explore Las Vegas on-demand sessions, be sure to check out my summary repo HERE. For those interested, below are my other breakouts that are also now available to watch on-demand:

VMware Explore Las Vegas 2024 officially wraps up today! I thoroughly enjoyed the event and had fantastic conversations with customers, partners and colleague!

The VMware Explore team has already been hard at work in getting all sessions published into the free on-demand catalog, which is available for or EVERYONE to watch, but also new this year, no logins are required! So get your learning on if you missed a session or was not able to attend VMware Explore

As of publishing this blog post, there are around ~18 sessions that have not been published, but I am sure those go up shortly (assuming presenters have approved).

Just like in past years, I have created a summarized list of all on-demand sessions for VMware Explore sessions including the direct link along with presentation links (assuming presenters approved), which you can access at: https://github.com/lamw/vmware-explore-2024-session-urls (short URL: https://vmwa.re/explore-us-2024)


Enjoy! I definitely will catch up on a few recordings once I have had a chance to recover from the long week at Explore 🚶🦶😅
