April of 2021 is now behind us and quickly becoming a distant memory. One of the most notable activities was the launch of a new version of the vRealize Suite and you can read about the community’s take on this launch in the blogs below. Every month we gather blogs from our 130+ members and bring you a digest of all the latest happenings from around the vExpert Cloud Management Community. 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 April 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!

We’ll start off with a short blog post by Dale Hassinger where he describes what it means to be a part of the vExpert Cloud Management Program.
