It’s time again to check in with the vExpert Cloud Management community. We recently wrapped up our applications for 2021 and this month we’re happy to welcome our 35 newest members! 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. Below, you will find a digest of the blogs written by the community in March of 2021. These blogs are written by industry professionals and often feature walkthroughs, feature highlights, and news for vRealize Operations, vRealize Network Insight, vRealize Log Insight, vRealize Automation, and VMware Skyline. Thank you to all who contributed this month!

Our first blog isn’t directly related to Cloud Management per se but it does cover architecting new cloud infrastructure on VxRail. It’s incredibly inspiring when we see members of the community branching out into the world of publishing and Victor Wu is back at it with a new 350-page book on implementing VxRail. Congratulations, Victor! This is fantastic!
