CloudPhysics’ Cloud Cost Calculators discover the configuration of every virtual machine (VM) in the data center and determine the cloud instance that best fits those discovered configurations. The Cloud Planning Rightsizer then examines the resource consumption patterns of those VMs and automatically identifies the on-premises VMs that are over-provisioned and have more resources than they need. The customer can then “rightsize” the VM and see what the costs would be to run the smaller, more appropriate VM in the public cloud.

Il programma Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award è il modo con cui Microsoft ringrazia e riconosce i leader delle community indipendenti che condividono la propria passione, esperienza tecnica e competenza effettiva dei prodotti Microsoft. Microsoft riconosce il ruolo fondamentale che queste persone ricoprono nell’adozione e nello sviluppo della tecnologia, nonché nel fornire assistenza agli utenti con i prodotti Microsoft. Questo ha ispirato il riconoscimento Microsoft MVP Award. Quasi venti anni fa, sono stati conferiti riconoscimenti a 37 leader delle community tecniche come MVP.

Questo premio è più un riconoscimento che una certificazione ed ha valore annuale. Il concetto è molto simile a quello adottato (spesso successivamente) da altre vendor per riconoscere l’impegno nelle relative “community” (come il caso di VMware con il programma vExpert).

Dopo che sono stati annunciati i primi 25 #TopvBlog2016 e i relativi vincitori nelle varie categorie, dopo qualche giorno sono stati pubblicati anche i risultati finali della “competizione” annuale Voting for the 2016 top VMware & virtualization blogs.

I risultati e le liste dei migliori blog in ambito virtualizzazione sono disponibili sul sito vSphere-land. I primi posti di ogni categoria forse non rappresentano una sorpresa (nella maggior parte dei casi erano quelli che, giustamente, mi aspettavo), con una buona predominanza di persone VMware e Nutanix… ma anche di VCDX… ma soprattutto con l’evidenza che chi lavora molto (incluse le partecipazioni ai VMUG) ottiene grossi risultati. Il primo posto ovviamente non era in dubbio… oramai è più una conferma o un modo per iniziare la lista, ma il primo è sicuramente Duncan Epping.
