Which teams do you need and how can they work together in this ""new"" or transitioning setup.

During this session, i'd like to highlight where Finops is playing a role in this setup. As the financial operational model is not as boring as it might sound... It is actually an enabler for businesses to go faster, be more innovative and deliver the business initiatives faster..."

PowerCLI is the most popular VMware admin tool, used by thousands of admins every day to automate different aspects of their VMware infrastructure. In addition to calling the cmdlets, which are included in the PowerCLI product modules, you can now use PowerCLI to make direct calls to VMware product APIs. In the latest PowerCLI versions, we developed a new, and more intuitive, approach to calling VMware REST APIs. We also built integration with the VMware REST API documentation, so that you can fetch PowerCLI samples directly from the API documentation portal. Join our session and see a demo of how you can easily automate workflows by using vSphere and NSX REST APIs with PowerShell.

Lately, I'm being challenged with increasing frequency on why we don't advise our customers to run Kubernetes on a vSAN stretched cluster, since that architecture has been the standard for many years, where most customers in EMEA rely on two physical datacenter locations that are relatively closeby. We will go over the reasons why this is an anti-pattern in a cloud native platform like Kubernetes, and how you could better design when dealing with two failure domains.
