It means your VMs can run on any host and access the files it requires. If
this was not the case then you could not tolerate a hardware failure and
expect your VMs to survive. It also means you can do things like evacuate a
host and take it down for maintenance.
Of course you could build your appl

Hey Phil,
I recently did the VCP certification/course through VMWare however I was
working with the technology over the past 5 years. Based off your desire to

Not sure if this list is the best place, but it is probably the only
