I’ve just upload the first draft of my vSphere 4 Reference Card – go and grab it now! Get the latest here

It’s only about 50% complete so far, but with old adage of “release early, release often”, I was keen to get it out there for some feedback.  It takes a considerable amount of time to collate, decipher, filter, augment and present these cards.  I just hope everyone finds them useful.   Don’t worry; I haven’t forgotten to finish the last 10% of the vSphere4 notes. However, I am concentrating most of my efforts towards getting the Reference Card to a “1.0″ release before this year’s VMworld.

Please leave comments below (or you can contact me directly if you’re feeling shy), and let me know of any errors or omissions.  The layout and style isn’t set in stone either, so let me know what works for you.  Suggestions and comments always help out, or just check out some of my other posts.

    It’s like the Swiss army knife for every VMware Pro!
    I also used it to prepare myself for the VCP certification.

    keep up the good work!

    Good stuff Forbes, I know a lot of people will be looking forward to seeing you “fill in the blanks”. Your VI3 card is used by many, it often comes up in conversation in my VMware classes.

  8. Forbes,

    Very nice work! Can I ask that you make a couple changes to the storage section to include recent updates to the NetApp collateral that you reference?
