VMworld 2012 Session (OPS-CIM1274)

Looks like I will be speaking at VMworld on a panel session with Thomas Corfmat, Igor Stoyanov, Sean Harrison, and Vivienne Cleveland:

In this session you will find out why vCenter Orchestrator is no longer VMware’s ‘best kept secret’. This session will walk you through the capabilities of vCenter Orchestrator and show how you can leverage this fundamental and powerful capability to integrate the VMware Cloud Infrastructure Suite with the rest of your systems management portfolio. This session will include a content rich demonstration of how the capabilities and features of VCO greatly simplify the installation, development and execution of workflows. Finally we highlight a range of use cases and the broad and ever growing portfolio of VCO plug-ins that allow you to quickly and easily build comprehensive cloud service offerings.
It is definitely an honor to have been asked to sit on the panel for something that I feel so strongly about.  I hope that everyone will be able to take some time out of their busy schedules to come join us at the session!  Hope to see everyone there!

vApps: To use or not to use?

Back in September, Cody Bunch at ProfessionalVMware.com, had posted an article regarding an e-mail he had received from one of his readers about vApps.  Besides the fact that it was a good read, I have found that vApps are extremely nice for use when deploying multi-tiered applications and organization.  Per VMware, a vApp can be defined as:

A vApp, uses the OVF standard to hold information about your multi-tier application. That is, it will hold information about service levels, policies, security, as well as the components of the application (read: VM or VMs). Containing all of this information will allow the owner of the vApp to move between internal and external clouds

What are your thoughts on vApps and how they can be used?  Sound off in the comments!
