vCenter Orchestrator Training EMEA – Sign up now
Hopefully everyone got to see myself and Chris Colotti’s Brown bag session last night on ProfessionVMware.com. During that session we spoke about the importance of Orchestration within a vCloud environment. We received quite a bit of interest from people around resources available on the product. VMware have just released 10 training classes in EMEA, so I thought I would publish the schedule here for anyone who is interested. I actually completed this course two weeks ago, and was seriously impressed by the power of VCO and what it enables me to do within a vCloud environment. If you have the time/resources available this is a must attend training session IMHO.
