And they aren’t talking about the private cloud you’ve spent years building on prem. They mean the likes of AWS, Azure, and Google. What are you supposed to do? Start all over? Forget everything you’ve learned? Trust me, I’ve been in your shoes. It can be overwhelming. The great news is that your old friend VMware has a few new tricks up its sleeve. In this session we’re going to take a look at the VMware Cloud Services portfolio. What is VMware Cloud Services, you say? It’s the multitude of SaaS offerings aimed directly at how you Monitor, Manage, Analyze, an Automate your public cloud workloads. Let’s talk about it together!
