VMware Explore Las Vegas 2024 {code} Hackathon: A Celebration of Innovation

Another {code} Hackathon is in the books! A big round of applause for our winning team led by Stephan McTighe! The team combined the power of vRA and Terraform to more effectively deploy an SDDC in a very efficient, and repeatable manner. Definitely take a look at their project once it becomes available on GitHub (we’ll add a link when it’s ready), and take your Terraform/vRA skills to the next level. Congrats!!

Building Connections

The Hackathon was more than just a coding competition; it was a chance to forge new relationships and strengthen existing ones. Participants engaged in meaningful conversations, exchanged ideas, and collaborated on solutions that extended beyond the scope of the event. The sense of community and mutual support was evident throughout, making the Hackathon a truly inspiring experience.

Getting to introduce newcomers to the Hackathon was a highlight for me. They asked questions, formed teams, worked individually or joined an existing team and began to compete. It’s beautiful to see how welcoming our community is.
