VMware Explore 2024 Las Vegas is in full swing and what a ride it’s been already! I love attending VMware Explore, it’s my favorite event of the year. Having the opportunity to talk to so many amazing people and getting to know them better has been really rewarding. As much as I love attending sessions, there has always been an itch. An itch to get up there myself and share something I’ve done with the rest of the community....
Summer is beginning, school is almost out here so that means it’s time to start preparing for my favorite time of the year, the VMware Explore conferences! In the past, I’ve always gone to Barcelona because it’s the closest to Belgium. This year I decided to change things up and also attend Explore in Las Vegas.

Ever since I started my blog back in 2016, it’s been running on wordpress. It took me a while before I got to a setup that I liked. Back when I started, I had chosen a free hoster.

When I saw the announcement, I immediately thought to myself that I don’t want to see this community disappear. I started talking to other folks in the community and quickly we had a bunch of enthusiastic people ready to step up and keep on building this community. I won’t be flying solo, my good friends Jens Herremans (blog - twitter) and Kristof Asaert (blog - twitter will be joining me as VMUG leaders....
The end of the year is one of my favourite times of the year. Not just because it’s my birthday or the holiday season but also because it’s time to fill in your vExpert application.

One of the reasons I got my homelab was to test out stuff that I don’t necessarily have access to at work. Recently, vIDM has peaked my intrest so I decided to deploy it. I had already deployed vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager so why not use that for the deploy!
