AWS for VMware Admins – McVMUG Scottish VMUG Slide Deck

There is a certain amount of irony that the last post I did was on re-skilling, as this is the precise reason that it has taken me about 6 weeks to get around to posting this deck from our session at the McVMUG (Scottish VMUG)! I have spent all my time studying for my Microsoft Azure Architect exam (70-534)! Anyway, enough about that, I will cover it in a future post!

Last month, Chris Porter and I did a presentation at the Scottish VMUG (aka McVMUG) on AWS for VMware admins; a simple beginners guide with a few gotchas and tips we’ve picked up along our journeys to the public cloud.

The results of our mini survey were very similar to those of the recent London VMUG, in that most people had little or no AWS experience, but several were planning to do any AWS certs in the next 12 months, though notably less than half this time round.

Random Fact

After the McVMUG I was fortune enough to be able to go and spend a couple of days visiting family in my hometown of Oban. Here are a couple of cheeky snaps I managed to grab on the stunning train, if grey, journey to the West Highlands (between watching Azure study videos!). There also follows a wee pano from the hill behind my teenage home, looking out across Oban bay towards the island of Kerrera. Definitely enough to make me homesick!

If you were unable to make the session and happen to be in or around Newcastle on 22nd June this year, Chris will be doing a solo repeat at the North East England VMUG, so make sure you register asap so you don’t miss out!
