That’s right – the boys are back! I am thrilled to announce that, for the second year in a row, I will have the honor of co-presenting at VMware Explore 2025 in Las Vegas with Dale Hassinger! Partnering with Dale over the last few years has been a true privilege and I always walk away from our conversations having learned something new. If you haven’t explored Dale’s content before, I highly recommend checking out his blog, vCROCS (https://vcrocs.info). It’s an excellent resource for insights on VCF, Operations, Automation, and more.
You may recall that Dale and I co-presented a breakout session at Explore 2024 in Las Vegas: Streamlining Healthcare with Automation: How VMware Can Help | INDB1917LV. This was a truly awesome experience, and we had a great time sharing our experiences and insights with an audience of 40+ live attendees. The survey feedback was overwhelmingly positive – we clearly hit the mark!

Enhancing VMware Cloud Foundation Operation Management Packs with PowerShell [CODEQT1121LV]
This year at Explore 2025 in Las Vegas, we are excited to present a Community Quick Talk session, which is a similar format to the “{code} Theater” sessions from previous years. In this session, we will demonstrate how to build custom VCF Operations Management Packs (MPs) using PowerShell to gather data. This is an especially powerful and necessary approach when APIs are limited or unavailable. We will also showcase “outside the box” Engineering strategies for extending beyond standard API capabilities.
Our goal is to empower you to innovate and design Management Packs tailored to your unique operational needs. This presentation is built for every VCF Operations Administrator looking to enhance visibility and control in their environment.
Join us Tuesday, August 26, 2025 at 10:30 AM PDT in The Hub at VMware Explore 2025 in Las Vegas! Seating is limited, with over 60 conference attendees already registered. Whether you are new to VCF Operations or a seasoned pro, you are guaranteed to leave with new ideas and practical takeaways!
