First thoughts on AWS Re:Invent 2018 and where VMware is missing the point
Firstly I’ll start this off by saying that I don’t usually write opinion pieces – I’d much rather share some cool technology or tips that I’ve come across in my day job (or even playing with technology in my own time). Secondly, my perspective is likely a bit skewed – … Read more
