When I was at VMworld 2018 Europe, I got the awesome opportunity to present a VMTN Tech Talk! Keep an eye on the vBrownBag twitter account closer to future VMworld in case they do them again as they are well worth it.
The talks were made possible by the awesome vBrownBag crew and the VMTN Communities team!
In my talk, I promised a summary of all the things I talked about so here you go:
