Question 1 - There was a lot of talk about Broadcom’s changes to VMware at the beginning of the year, but not as much since then. What’s going on in the world of virtualization?

Question 3 - Have either of you found any valuable uses of AI in your day-to-day job?

Question 4 - Now that the US elections are over, how do you expect the US Gov’t to be involved with the tech industry (anti-trust, CHIPS ACT, AI regulation, etc..)

Question 5 - AI models and GPUs  seem to get all the attention in the news. Are there other areas of AI that you think are really important but aren’t getting much attention right now?

Question 6 - Are cloud skills still considered valuable? Do certifications matter anymore?
