Virtualisation has been a crucial stepping-stone in keeping organisations up-to-speed with technological changes. VMware's extensive adoption, especially across Australia and New Zealand, is a testament to the innovation, capabilities, and usability delivered by its core products. However, VMware's new pricing models make the 'no action' strategy impractical in today’s competitive business environment. Businesses need a trusted partner that works beside them to navigate these changes beyond the technology, together. Slalom is here to help. From virtualisation to modernisation, migrating your VMware to #AWS could be the next step in your cloud journey. Whether you need to optimise for time or reduce risk, Slalom is here to partner with you to plan your VMware exit. Curious to understand how Slalom can help?

Google Cloud has accidentally deleted a major customer’s account, including all its backups. The affected customer, UniSuper, is an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members. The incident occurred on May 2 and the full restoration of services did not happen until May 15. The deletion was caused by an inadvertent misconfiguration during the provisioning of UniSuper’s Private Cloud services. Google has taken responsibility for the incident and has apologized to UniSuper. #googlecloud #unisuper #accountdeletion #googleaccidents #networksecurity #networkforensics #retirementfunds #australia #securityoperations #informationtechnology Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehFe4ehN

Running Virtual Machines on OpenShift container platform, or thinking of doing it? Yesterday, we, the Red Hat Canberra team, had the pleasure of delivering a workshop to explain the ‘why’ and ‘how’. Great interaction by all who came. Really wonderful to see how knowledgeable many participants were on OpenShift, and how advanced they were in their modernisation journey, including already adopting OpenShift Virtualisation. Go Canberra! Big thanks to Ali Salehi Damien Lederer Wayne Dovey and Grant O. for co-presenting this with me. Want to run this workshop at your Organisation? Ping me :) #OpenShift #Kubernetes #Virtualization
