This isn’t the blog you’re looking for

After years of slumbering the VMdamentals.com blog has now officially become an archive. Just like technology moves on, I am moving on the new stuff as well… Cloud Native! This time just not from a pure VMware perspective, but more around Cloud Native as a whole. Containers, Kubernetes, persistent storage… All of that jazz!

The VMdamentals blog dried up years ago. As I no longer had access to a real lab it was hard to maintain the technical deepdives I once did on all of the cool (mostly storage related) geeky subjects.

Although I have been part of the EMC / Dell family for quite some years, I only recently moved into the Technologist team at Dell ISG. This move means I now one again have access to an extensive lab, so I am once again getting my geek on!!

#DemoDemoDemo !

Whether you are new to the world of Cloud Native or a seasoned expert, I will continue to share knowledge and help you stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in the industry. Join me on this exciting journey and let’s explore the fascinating world of Cloud Native together!

Take a peek at the new Konversations blog site!

Dusting off ye olde blog site

Wow that was LOADS OF DUST.

Hi to anyone who might still be lurking here! After many years of blogging on vmdamentals.com, at some point I ran out of capabilities and time to do all of these techie/nerdy things and blog about it. Even though I had tons of fun building out all of this stuff, at some point this blog site died a slow death. Move along, nothing to see here…

OR IS THERE?

With me recently moving into a new roll within Dell Technologies, I once again have access to a lab, and even better… I am given time to play around with all kinds of nerdy stuff! So yes: There will be a jumpstart where I will start blogging again! It won’t be VMdamentals.com, as that name has served its purpose for many years when I dissected the world of Virtual Machines (VMware Virtual Machines specifically). As the world has progressed since then, the tip of the spear today lies in the world of Containers… And you say Containers today you say Kubernetes. So guess what will be “coming next”…!!
