What an incredible week it has been! This past Thursday, I had the pleasure of presenting at VMUG Connect Amsterdam, held at the iconic RAI Amsterdam. The energy in the room was fantastic, and it was truly invigorating to connect with so many engaged professionals from the VMware community.
My session — "VMware Cloud Foundation Troubleshooting: Real-World Scenarios and Solutions" — focused on practical approaches to maintaining and fixing VCF environments. We explored essential tools for performing preventive health checks on VCF 9, walked step-by-step through real-world troubleshooting examples, and discovered some of the latest troubleshooting features within VCF Operations.
The room was nearly full with around 60 attendees, and the feedback I received afterward was overwhelmingly positive. It is always rewarding to share lessons learned from the field — especially when the audience is so interactive and eager to discuss real-world applications. A big thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, and shared their own experiences!
It was also wonderful to catch up with so many familiar faces, both from the Netherlands and abroad — including a good number of former students. To top off an already memorable week, I also passed my VCAP-Automation exam 🎉 And a comfortable stay at the Van der Valk Hotel at the Zuidas certainly didn't hurt either.
Next Stop: VMUG Connect Minneapolis 🇺🇸
If you missed the Amsterdam session, don't worry! In just three weeks, I will be delivering this presentation again at VMUG Connect Minneapolis. I am looking forward to bringing these real-world VCF troubleshooting scenarios and practical strategies to the US audience.
After the Minneapolis session, I will make the full presentation slide deck available for download right here on NTPRO.NL — so stay tuned if you want access to all the materials, tools, and references we covered.
Thank you again to the VMUG community for the continued support and engagement. See you in Minneapolis! 👊
