VMware Empower (and kebabs)

We have finally arrived after a mammoth stint on the UK’s largest car park aka the M25 followed by a much more pleasurable experience with plane and train. On Sunday night I plucked up the courage to book the VCP6.5-DCV exam, there are some areas that I feel reasonably strong in having had a really good recent amount of hands on experience in. There are some, however, that I really need to get a grasp on as I’m fairly sure they may come up. Anyways, the exam is booked for Wednesday and before that there is a whole heap of sessions to look forward to. Here is my agenda for the next few days:

Monday 02/07

13:00 – 14:30 – Planning your migrations to VMware cloud on AWS

15:00 – 16:30 – Ensuring customer success with vSAN

17:00 – 18:30 – General Session

18:30 – 20:30 – Welcome Reception

08:30 – 10:15 – VCP6.5-DCV exam – eeek

10:30 – 12:00 – Capitalising on SDDC standardisation and automation with VMware validated designs and VMware cloud foundation

I’m also looking forward to watching the England vs Colombia game with Simon at the Kursalon on Tuedsay night.

It’s going to be very difficult to avoid not having kebab for dinner every night, the one we just had next door to the hotel was sensational! Mmmmm.
