Welcome to my blog!
BlanketVM is my blog where I would like to post articles about my VMware journey and other solutions. I have years of experience with vSphere, SRM, vROPS, vRA, etc., and now I have decided to share it with you. I want to participate in the virtualization community, which has motivated me to create that website.
Enjoy!
