VMware Communities Roundtable podcast #1

For your long weekend’s listening pleasure, we’re very pleased to present the very first episode of the

VMware Communities Roundtable

Each week, we’ll bring together experts and leaders from the VMware Communities and virtualization blogs to discuss the interesting topics in virtualization. Think of this as if
it were a group meeting up at VMworld over a pint to chat about the latest news.

We record the call and make it available for your podcast listening pleasure. Listen with the player over on the right, download directly, or use the podcast feed from TalkShoe.

Our first show ranged from an open source Virtual SAN appliance, how to think about and use snapshots, Service Console security, and Hyper-V comparisons. We had a great start to this new show — thanks to everybody for calling in!

If you’re a virtualization blogger and interested in participating, drop me a line. Also let us know if you liked the show and what topics you’d like to have us cover — either comment here or over on the VMware Communities thread.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

1:28 Steve Beaver reports from the Orlando Virtualization Forums.

6:00 Alex Mittell and Tom Howarth discuss the xtravirt Virtual SAN Appliance.

15:00 Eric Siebert talks about what to do when your snapshot fills your disk and general confusion around ESX snapshots

25:00 Edward Haletky talks about security, network topology and the Service Console

39:00 Dave Mishchenko talks about apples-to-apples comparisons when looking at virtualization platforms

Have a great weekend!
