## Resource

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 is all about making the platform easier to consume and operate at scale. In this episode, Pete and John sit down with Dilpreet, Head of Engineering for VCF, to explore how that vision comes to life. From the introduction of VCF Automation and Kubernetes-based APIs to multi-cluster management and faster deployment models, this conversation focuses on simplifying how infrastructure is delivered and managed. They also dive into VKS 3.6 updates, including faster cluster deployment, expanded ecosystem support, and contributions to the CNCF community. If you’re looking to understand how VCF 9.1 improves developer experience, automation, and platform operations, this episode is a must-watch.
