I then moved to Novell networks, Microsoft networks.
Then in 1999 I started using VMware products, and created
my first “private cloud”, I worked with vCloud Director, vSphere, and VMware Cloud
Foundation.
My first look at Public Cloud came with Microsoft Azure,
then AWS.
I then started to get involved with VMware Cloud on AWS.
This prompted me to start my journey to GCP.

QA are a Google training partner

As I go, I’ll post more of my thoughts and map out my
journey.
Have a great one, as always, I’m #alwayslearning.
