Welcome to the vExpert Cloud Management Blog Digest for May 2020. Every month we share a handful of blogs created by our vExpert Cloud Management Community. These blogs are written by industry professionals from around the vCommunity and often feature walkthroughs, feature highlights, and news for vRealize Operations, vRealize Network Insight, vRealize Log Insight, vRealize Automation, and VMware Skyline. The vExpert title is awarded to individuals who dedicate their time outside of work to share their experiences and useful information about VMware products with the rest of the community. vExperts share their knowledge in many ways including presentations at VMware User Groups (VMUG), writing blog posts, and even creating content on YouTube.
This month we have (once again) a lot of great content from around the world. Below you’ll find a number of excellent blogs written by our community in the month of May sorted by each of the vRealize products they chose to write about. So if you’re interested in monitoring public cloud services with vRealize Operations or getting started with Cloud Assembly, the vExpert Cloud Management community has you covered!
