I have had good vCloud skills for a while now but working on a project that will be as large as this one and with the level of automation from vCenter Orchestrator and Cisco Cloud Portal (CCP) has improved my skills massively.
I have also been working with the guys over on Profesional VMware and have presented on the EMEA Brownbags. I am due to present on another topic in the near future. I would jump onto the Brownbags if your studying for the VCAP-CID and the soon to be released VCAP-CIA as they have helped me no end in refreshing and improving my knowledge on many topics. One of the best BrownBags I have watched is @LawrenceKohan BrownBag in vCenter Change Back Manager. This is a product I configure in every project but it is something I often need to refresh my knowledge on and Lawrence's knowledge of the product is outstanding.
Anyway I will be updating the blog a bit more often now. As I have some interesting stuff coming up that I would love to share.
