I’m pleased to say that I upped my game somewhat over the past year, managing to churn out 62 posts in 2016, more than double the 28 posts I produced in 2015!<\/p>\n

There were a few other interesting trends over the previous year. The balance between VMware and other subjects has definitely shifted for me, where for example, I wrote well over a\u00a0dozen posts on AWS.<\/p>\n

I guess this is probably representative\u00a0of both my recent role change, as well as the shift in my customers from being 90%+ VMware houses, to a broad mix of different cloud platforms, both public (AWS \/ Azure) and private (VMware \/ OpenStack).<\/p>\n

This trend is only going to accelerate in the future, and I suggest Scott Lowe’s Full Stack Journey podcast<\/a> would be well worth your time subscribing to for great information on how to avoid being left behind as our industry morphs over the coming years!<\/p>\n

\"thecloud\"<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that this trend is also mirrored in the top 5 articles alone, which include popular newer technologies such as Docker<\/a> and AWS<\/a>. That said, it’s great to see the Intel NUC Nanolab<\/a> series is still as popular as ever, and people are obviously still keeping their vSphere skills and certs up to date, based on the VCP delta study guide popularity.<\/p>\n

You may also have noticed that I have been a little quieter of late. The main reasons for this have been down to starting my new role earlier this year, studying for exams, plus a number of other projects I’ve been involved in (such as the Open TechCast podcast<\/a>). Hopefully I can find a little more balance between them all in 2017, though I already have a couple of podcasts, a VMUG presentation, and a possible exam lined up for January so I’m not really helping myself on that front!<\/p>\n

So, enough jibber jabbing! Here follows the top 10 most popular posts of the past 12 months.<\/p>\n

    Something Mike Preston<\/a> and I discussed on our recent Open TechCast podcast<\/a> episode, was how it can be a little frustrating as a blogger that often an opinion piece which took ages to write and edit will get a small number of views, whilst a quick tip which took a couple of minutes to jot down, might get thousands or even tens of thousands over time!<\/p>\n

    Gladly, my top 10 this year includes both types, so my time wasnt completely wasted! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    Anyway thats enough from me for now; all the best for 2017 folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
