## Resource

Edge environments are growing fast, but managing them at scale is anything but simple. In this episode, Pete and John sit down with Rick Walsworth to explore how VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 is transforming edge deployments. From zero-touch provisioning and built-in security to lifecycle management and massive scale, Rick breaks down how organizations can deploy and manage thousands of remote sites with consistency and control. The conversation also covers emerging use cases like AI at the edge and real-world examples like software-defined manufacturing. If you’re looking to simplify edge operations while maintaining security and scalability, this episode is a must-watch.
