As we finalize the last of the labs to be released to the Hands-on Lab’s Online portal, I wanted to take a minute and acknowledge all the hard work and dedication from our Partners that went into creating these labs. If you are not familiar with our Partner labs, they are created by VMware Partner to showcase their solutions and how they integrate with VMware. I encourage you to take one of these labs today!
There is a lot of work involved in creating these labs and would not have been successful without the guidance of Jon Schulz (@njonschulz) and David D’Entremont (@daviddentremont). They acted as a liaison between the Partners creating the labs and the VMware Hands-on Labs Core team. They were instrumental in making these labs a success.
