VMworld Network & Security Sessions 2020

VMworld 2020 will be taken place this year remotely from 29th of September 2020 until 1st of October 2020. I provide recommendations within this blog post about some deep dive sessions related to Network & Security sessions. I have excluded general keynotes, certifications and Hands-on-Labs sessions from my list. I have focused on none 100 level sessions, only in case of new topics I have done some exceptions.

Pricing

The big advantage of a remote event is that everyone can join without any travelling, big disadvantage is indeed the social engineering with some drinks:-) Everyone can register for the general pass without any costs. There is also the possibility to order a premier pass which includes additional benefits like more sessions, discussions with VMware engineers, 1 to 1 expert sessions, certification discount, etc.

VMworld Session Recommendations

Now I come to my session recommendations which are based on my experience from the last years and about topics which are interesting from Network and Security point of view. But first I have to say that every VMworld sessions is worth to join and for me it is the most important source to get technical updates, innovation and training.
