vSoup Mike Lavericks Most Excellent Adventure #33

Mike Laverick
Guess who´s back? Yes, yet again we get to philosophize with Mike Laverick.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K, and perhaps we´re all suffering from a mild form of hysteria, but this is a fun one!

Listen to this dude Rufus, he knows what he’s talking about.

Our most excellent list of topics include:

  • Mike’s Epic Journey to the vCloud
  • Mike’s new Role at VMware
  • Can you turn a blog into a book?
  • Evolution of vCloud director thru versions
  • Other cloud automation tools
  • VMware and Puppet
  • Does 68+ posts on vCloud director make it too complicated? (or even 71 as it is at the time of writing)
  • Usage cases for vCloud Director and other products
  • 3rd party Virtualization stacks
  • vShield

And remember: be excellent to each other!

(ok, ok, I went overboard with the references in this one, but hey, I believe our adventure through time has taken a most serious turn.)

vSoup On a Bender with Nick #32

Nick WeaverDo we need Puppet for People? Will we all turn into Geppetto in the end? Nick Weaver explains it all, in this 32 minute quickie.

Nick, who blogs at nickapedia.com is as quick with his mouth as he is with his blogging, so you´re in for a real quickfire episode!

I´m sure we have missed something, but conversation items include:

  • Nicks Career Transformation
  • Automation – will it replace YOU?
  • DevOPs and the next level of automation
  • Puppet and how to make sure your underpants are on first.
  • Automation with regards to the evolution of Tech
  • API’s and their importance

Now, let us all hope that Chris figures out how many hats to wear, or if he remembered to put on underwear before pants. We do not want Chris going commando, trust me.
