Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.

Falling Through the Clouds is a personal blog about technologies that I am knowledgeable and passionate about.  It is designed to explain in detail, all the features and options of certain technologies as well as provide up to date information about things that I focus on.  The name Falling Through the Clouds comes from the many occasions I find myself researching functions or problems that “fall through the cracks” about cloud technologies.

A little about me:

My name is Will Hochradel and I have been working in IT for over 20 years.  I began my career as a help desk technician just like many before me.  Continuing my career path, I followed my interests and passions along the way.  My first experience working with virtualization technologies was back in October of 2008 when I installed my first ESX 3.5U2 server.  Five years later I installed vCloud Automation Center 5.2 to begin playing with automation.  I have spent the last 10 years devoted to automation and orchestration.  Currently, I am providing my expertise to several clients in my current role as Principal Technical Consultant.

I have been a Subject Matter Expert with VMware for Cloud Management and Automation.  This allowed me to help write several exams for the CMA certification track.  I have also held VMWare certifications across datacenter virtualization, network virtualization and cloud management and automation.
