Ryan and Kris stop by to debrief what they learned at this year's VMworld and to queue up our biggest event of the year: VMworld 2019 Redux. Be sure to listen through to the end to get more details on the event and learn how to request your exclusive invitation!

The gloves come off this week as the Matts invite David, a true EUC specialist, into our studios to debate the pros & cons of a hotly contested technology: Hyper-Converged Infrastructure.

Yette welcomes our Founding Partner, Alec, to the podcast to talk all things virtual machines: Things like NUMA & vNUMA, why DIMMs might not be optimally placed, how VMware's evolution of multi-core & multi-socket CPU hardware impact your VMs, and much more! (Apologies to anyone looking for more info on the classic O-Zone song 'Numa Numa Yei', perhaps we'll cover that on a future episode). 

It’s time to LVtMCEaaS (Live Vicariously through Mack’s Conference Experience as a Service) as we dive into the developments and products announced at last month's show.

We naturally nerd-out professionally – so it should come as no surprise then, that beyond being keyboard jockeys by day, we also like to automate, command, control, and upgrade all the things in our homes, garages, entertainment systems, etc. This week we discuss our home lab and automation setups, as well as the smart home software and hardware we use to make life that much geekier.

Cozz was recently joined by our very own Kris Lamet & Alec Taylor for an impromptu Q&A about the future of NSX. They briefly cover what the release of NSX-T 2.4 means for users of the NSX-V as it sunsets – and what new features -T brings to the table.

We cover a lot this week including network virtualization & the software-defined datacenter, vRealize Log Insight, and all things 6.7 Update 2: Spectre / Meltdown, new config maximums for VMs, and more!

Technologies like Swagger, GraphQL, PowerShell, etc. are revolutionizing the way our software interacts with other components & infrastructure in the modern data center. Rebecca Fitzhugh of Rubrik takes us through the evolution of APIs, and whether you speak JSON, Golang, Python, or just plain old English, this is one you’re not going to want to miss.

This week Matt & Matt cover the 5 W's & the H of containers – most importantly WHEN you should be implementing them and HOW they tie into the new world of cloud-hosted infrastructure.
