I posted last week about the VMworld 2015 session recordings that VMware released for free to the general public (non-attendees) via their YouTube channel. VMware has just published another batch bringing the total sessions released up to 54 so I have updated my previous post to add the new sessions in. The sessions span many different tracks but if you look at the topics and speakers you will see that the free sessions are mainly composed of the following:
- Mostly VMware speakers, however there are a small amount of vendor sessions (I’m one of them!)
- Lots of VDI sessions, VMware wants more people doing VDI so they historically release many VDI sessions
- Sessions that target specific technologies that VMware wants to promote like VSAN, VVols and NSX
- Some of the most popular and well attended sessions
Traditionally VMware releases around this number of free sessions each year with the rest only accessible by paid attendees or through other avenues. As a result this is probably the last batch of free sessions that we will see until next VMworld when VMware releases all the prior year sessions for free. I’ve highlighted below a few of the free sessions that look good (of course a shameless plug for my VVols session) and may interest you:
- INF4764 – Extreme Performance Series – vCenter Performance Best Practices (Ravi Soundararajan, VMware)
- INF5701 – Extreme Performance Series – vSphere Compute & Memory (Fei Guo, VMware – Seong Beom Kim, VMware)
- STO4649 – Virtual Volumes Technical Deep Dive (Ken Werneburg, VMware – Patrick Dirks, VMware)
- STO5888 – Top 10 Thing You MUST Know Before Implementing Virtual Volumes (Eric Siebert, HP)
