VMworld 2017 – day 2 part 1

It’s another beautiful day in Barcelona. VMworld day two is about to start. Let the games begin!

  • Q&A Session with Pat Gelsinger to answer questions sent in by partners the day before.
  • Largest part of the general session was about a fictional company named “Elasticsky Pizza” (not related in any way with this website). 😉 This company urgently needs help to perform the digital transformation, to deliver apps to their customers and to monitor any kind of problem and track down the cause of it. A collection if short and funny clips showed the problem of the company and the presenters showed how to solve them with VMware Cloud products like Pivotal Container Service, AppDefence, NSX, IoT Pulse. To round up the whole story a pizza delivery truck drove into the audience hall and delivered a box of pizza to the presenter. Very entertaining. 🙂
