Here is my doodle from today's VMware’s Cloud event. Great content shared and good to see further maturity in VMware ‘s approach to the cloud.

Key elements

• VMware Cloud allows you to run traditional and modern applications in a standardised way across on-premises and public clouds

• With Tanzu developers can leverage a native set of APIs irrespective of the cloud where the application will run

• With Tanzu and vCloud Foundation you get a true Dev Sec Ops approach with intrinsic security and operations considered as part of the development process and not as an afterthought

• New VMware Cloud Universal licensing gives you a flexible way based upon credits to consume VMware Cloud irrespective of where you run the workloads, On-Premises or in AWS

• With VMware Cloud Universal you also get access to the Success 360 program for full support with your transformation journey as well as Cloud Console to centrally manage your licensing and monitor your workloads with vRealize integration

Today is the first day of Cloud Field Day 9 #CFD9, due to COVID taking place online over 3 days with 7 organisations presenting to the field day delegates. For more information check out the #CFD9 page here

The first organisation presenting at #CFD9 was VMware covering VMware vRealize portfolio but with a specific focus on how the portfolio can be used in conjunction with the public cloud and the VMware Cloud solutions on AWS and other platforms.

You can see my doodles from the presentationbelow but I was particularly impressed how far VMware has come with delivering aaS options for the portfolio that have feature parity with the on-premises versions. Also VMware Network Insight stood out as an invaluable tool to plan application migrations. I will blog further about these elements and the portfolio separately.

The second doodle covers utilising vRealize Operations Manager monitoring and managing your VMC workloads as well as using VMware vRealize Automation to create user deployable solutions agnostic of the infrastructure the workload will run on.
