VMware Communities Roundtable

Talking about the new Brickstorm security risk where you don't even know you have been compromised. They are stealing your critical industry information to then compete against you. The layers of security, our application products like vDefend and Avi application security and all other topics from learning to getting started.

Welcome to 2026, the year of Private AI, VCF 9 and all things Data Center. Today Eric and Corey discuss the VMware{code} blog that covers 12 learning tasks to get started with Private AI, from GPU, to AI Models to getting your home lab setup. A fun beginning of the year!

The VMUG home lab portal has been live for 2 weeks now, we are tracking 5 bugs. We now have resolution for the download "come back later bug" as well as will be publishing support for the Administration and A/rchitect 2024 certification (previous release of vcp). We are responding to [email protected] escalations and getting things fixed now that tokens are live.

Gabi takes us through what enterprises must consider and the tradeoffs between on-prem and off-prem workloads. From Latency, to performance to eco-green considerations. A great podcast on the topic.

Stephen is a VMware trainer who teaches classes on NSX and now has been leaving VCF networking. Eric and Stephen talk about
the setup and security aspects of VPC's and how the average admin can now tackle this config.
