This might be slightly YMMV, but I was browsing Kroger and saw an Audible $30 gift card that is good for 3 credits. This is slightly cheaper than the $11.96/credit with the 3 credit bundle.

This might be a good option for some especially since Kroger does gas discount bonus points for gift cards.

While making my away through a greenfield upgrade/deployment build I have the opportunity to implement something I've been thinking about ever since I had managed the backup environment in a previous role. Since my org uses Resource Groups primarily as a way to organize VMs into separate application groups this leaves the VMware Folders and Templates view open for some reorganization.

​

I've noticed that many backup solutions such as Avamar for example offer the opportunity to have backup policy applied based on VMware folder membership and I'm considering implementing something like:

Tier 1 (Tier 1 Backup Policies)

Avamar

Rubrik

Manual

Tier 2 (Tier 2 Backup Policies)

Ava

In all fairness, I am still partial to Strava from a social networking standpoint, but since I got my Garmin 235 all of my activities get logged to Garmin Connect before being exported elsewhere and I have to say I have been rather impressed lately. They have a lot of data analysis features enabled that are paywalled off without a yearly/monthly subscription on the other big apps. I especially like the "Training Effect" meter so I can get a sense of my cardio on any particular run.

Reports are helpful, as are notes. But it happens way too often that someone will create a snapshot and forget about it.

Wouldn't it be helpful if a VM with an active snapshot had a slightly different icon in the WebGUI/Client, even a slightly different tint or shadow effect would be enough to provide "at a glance" information that a snapshot is active and prevent a potential future issue.
