Speaking

I have had the great pleasure of speaking on a few events.

VMware Explore Europe 2023

I did a VMTN/vBrownBag Techtalk session during VMware Explore Europe in November 2023. The session was a shorter version of the session I did at TechX 300 earlier this year where I talked about how we have started using GitOps for running automation tasks in our infrastructure. The session recording is available on Youtube, and the slides and scripts used is available on Github

TechX 300 Denmark - September 2023

Once again I had the honor of being accepted as a speaker on one of VMUG Denmarks events. The TechX 300 event was a two-day event gathering a great lineup of speakers. My session was based on the GitOps blog post and had quite a few live demos.

VMware User Group Norway - September 2023

In September 2023 I held a live-demo only session on how to utilize a CI/CD pipeline to publish and run Powershell scripts to perform tasks in a vSphere infrastructure.

The session was based on this following blog post

VMware User Group Denmark Summer meeting - May 2022

I had the pleasure of deliver a session during the VMUG Denmark summer meeting in May. The topic of the session was "Testdrive VMware Tanzu with Tanzu Community Edition".

VMware Communities Roundtable Podcast - March 2022

In March 2022 I was invited to the VMware Communities Roundtable podcast to talk about my blog post on how to Install Countour on a Tanzu Community Edition cluster

The Podcast was live streamed on Youtube and can be found here, and as an audio podcast here or where you usually find podcasts.

Snacka Kubernetes med Conoa - March 2022

Snacka Kubernetes med Conoa is a webcast done almost every week on Thursdays, most often in Swedish (or in my case Norwegian) and is focused on Kubernetes infra and surrounding (supporting) technologies

I did a session on VMware Tanzu, the session was recorded and can be found here

Let's Talk Data Podcast - May 2021

My employer Proact IT has a publicly available podcast where I was invited to speak about Infrastructure Automation. The podcast recording is available on Spotify, iTunes and Youtube

Runecast Virtual Conference 2020 - April

In April I delivered a session on the first ever Runecast Virtual Conference. The topic of the session was "Monitoring your VCSA through REST APIs". The session recording is available here, and you can find the scripts and slides used on GitHub

VMware User Group Norway 2020 - March

I went totally out of my comfort zone and did a "Kubernetes for VI Admins" on the VMUG meeting in Oslo in March.

As a part of my studying for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) exam I found that there were a lot of new stuff to be aware of, at least on a high level, for an infrastructure administrator when it comes to the new "containerized" world. I thought that would be something others also would benefit from so I decided to do a "understanding-in-progress" kind of presentation where I invited the community to pitch in with their understanding and questions around Kubernetes and containers.

VMworld Europe 2019

I did a VMTN/vBrownBag Techtalk session during VMworld Europe in November 2019. The session was a short version on the sessions I have done at VMUGs lately where I build a monitoring solution for the vCenter Server appliance by using the REST APIs and open-source tools. The session recording is available on Youtube, and the slides and scripts used is available on Github

VMware User Group Norway 2019 - June

I did a new "VMUG Tour of Norway" in June 2019. This time the focus was an introduction to REST APIs for VMware admins and also how you can use the REST APIs in vCenter to pull health stuff from your VCSA and build dashboards around them. The slides and demo scripts can be found here.

VMware User Group Norway 2018 - December

I did a VMUG session in December 2018 where I demonstrated how I've built out monitoring dashboards for vCenter and the VCSA through the new vCenter REST APIs. The slides and demo scripts can be found here.

VMworld Europe 2018

In November 2018 I did a community session at VMworld. The session was a quick presentation and demo of the Performance series. The session was part of the VMTN Techtalks with vBrownBag and was recorded. The recording can be seen at Youtube. The slides and script used in the demo can be found here.

VMware User Group Norway 2018 - May

In May 2018 I did a "VMUG Tour of Norway" where I gave sessions in three cities in three days - Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen. The topic of my session was my blog series on vSphere Performance Monitoring. The slides and demo scripts can be found here.

Nordic Infrastructure Conference (NIC) 2018

In February 2018 I did a presentation at the Nordic Infrastructure Conference, NIC, together with my colleague Martin Ehrnst. The topic was how you consume modern REST API's with our favourite tool, Powershell. The slides and demo scripts from that session can be found here.

HPE Discover Norway 2017

In March 2017 I did a presentation at HPE Discover event in Norway. I talked about how we at Intility had made use of HPE OneView to help build our own hardware inventory system, and also the automation capabilities we'd made use of
