VMUG Connect 2025 - Minimal VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.x in a Box 

05.15.2025 by William Lam // 5 Comments


I had a great time attending the inaugural VMUG Connect 2025 in St. Louis this past April. Like many others, the event was a great way to connect and share our passion for VMware technologies with both new and familiar faces from our community.

Here are a few great write-ups from attendees of the conference:

  • Daniel Kriger - VMUG Connect St. Louis 2025 (who I got to meet in person as we often chatted on social media)
  • Daniel Keer - I Went to VMUG Connect 2025
  • Maarten Van Driessen - VMUG Connect 2025

2022 VMUG Advantage Community Group Buy

06.01.2022 by William Lam // 3 Comments

It is that time of the year again, the event that you all have been waiting for ... the annual VMUG Advantage Community Group Buy! 😀


For those not familiar with the VMUG Advantage membership, it provides benefits such as access to training, VMworld discounts but also to EVALExperience, which provides you with 365-days access (non-production usage) to the latest VMware solutions such as vSphere, vSAN, NSX, vRealize, Tanzu and VMware Cloud Foundation. The EVALExperience alone is worth the normal $200 USD membership fee and is certainly one of the cheapest and easiest way to get access to all the latest VMware offerings for homelab and educational purposes.

Here are other benefits of VMUG Advantage:

  • Access to VMware Test Drive
  • 20-35% discounts on VMware training and certification
  • This 15% discount is only offered once a year through this offer
  • Advantage members receive $100 USD VMware Explore Discount (not stackable)
  • Full list of Advantage Benefits: https://www.vmug.com/membership/vmug-advantage-membership

The table below provides the respective discounts based on the quantity of VMUG Advantage membership purchases. The larger the interests group, the larger the discount.
