With the release of NSX-T 2.4 comes near complete feature parity with NSX-V. This presentation will cover key functional and architectural differences between the two. Whether considering a new install or a transition there are critical decisions must be made when deploying NSX-T.

9:50 iland Presentation: An Open Discussion About Cloud by Brian Knudtson, Cloud Technologist at iland (@bknudtson)
It’s natural to have concerns when implementing a new IT architecture, especially one as impactful as moving to the cloud. Bring those concerns for a discussion about how the cloud can address those concerns.

11:00 Community Presentation: Concourse, Pipelines and Bosh, Oh My! by Nathan Scheunemann, Sr Systems Engineer at SKYGENUSA (@chickendilla)
Concourse is the open-source CI/CD system that Pivotal Software uses to automate tasks from deploying and upgrading foundations to pretty much any task you can think of. In this presentation, I would like to share some of the things I have learned about concourse. We will start this journey by looking at a quick way to learn concourse for yourself with a simple hello world pipeline, and then move to a full multi-worker install with some more complicated pipelines.
