This weeks VMwareWag is with David Hill, and was record last week just before the PEX. Before joining VMware, David was a self-employed IT Consultant and Architect for around 15 years, working on projects for large consultancies and financial institutions. He works as Senior Solutions Architect within Services and Solutions Engineering. He tweets as @davehill99 and like many of us blogs at virtual-blog.com. David’s focus on the vCloud Suite – but I spent sometime quizing him about vCloud Director, because that’s my current focus.
Q1. What for you are the stand-out aspects of vCloud Director?
Q2. Perhaps you can begin with a quick description of a Provider vDC…. Now Provider vDC can contain more than one HA/DRS cluster – what’s the logic behind where the VM gets placed?
Q3. Do you think the changes behind the Provider vDC might ultimately lead to changes in design or best practises. For many a HA/DRS cluster represents a desecrate amount of compute/storage/networking – you could almost call it a virtual silo. Do you see that changing…?
Q4. Can I ask what are you working on currently – what’s keeping you awake at night with thoughts on vCloud Director… or is your mind else where! 😉
