What I've Been Reading 2017-09-10 (VMworld US 2017)


I try to read a few news sites and blogs each day to keep up with IT for my customers and colleagues.  I thought posting what I found to be the most educational articles each week might be helpful.  This past week, I mostly read deeply about the announcements at VMworld US to put the products announcements in some business context.  Here is my summary of that learning.  Enjoy.
