2020 came and went

It’s oh so quiet – or at least is has been for the past year.

There has not been many posts or updates to the site, not because of lockdown (although it might have had something to do with it) but because I’ve been writing most posts on our corporate site www.virtualized.dk

I’ll try to get some updated content on this site in the very soon future, so hopefully it’s still worth to keep the site bookmarked.

Getting a valid certificate on your vmware vSphere vCenter 6.7
