I have been looking through the VMworld content catalogue today. There are over 250 sessions this year, covering a variety of topics. Something for everyone as they say. For me working in the vCloud space, I thought it would be good to create a list of sessions that I think will be beneficial to people wanting to learn more about the vCloud products, and how they can further enhance there current vCloud environments.
Lets start with the most important session, mine 
INF-VSP1168 – Architecting a Cloud Infrastructure
This session will discuss the various design considerations when architecting the foundation for every solid cloud environment: vSphere 5.0. We will start with sizing and scaling and end with some operational guidance. Different examples will be used to show the impact design considerations can have on the availability of your services.
