Thankyou for giving up some daddy time; now let's go and-Nick marshallAcknowledgmentsAs i write this, i realize it has been over two years since i started writing inearnest for the 5.5 revision of the mastering vSphere series. In late 2012Scott lowe graciously handed me the mantle of keeping this tome up to dateIn some ways it feels like it was yesterday but in others it feels like aneternity i was a few months into my new role as a consultant at vmware inSydney, my son was only nine months old, and i had landed this huge writingopportunity. Since that time, I've updated this book twice, VMware relocatedmy family and me to Palo Alto, and i now have a lively three-year-old and ababy girl on the way!Throughout all of this craziness, my wife has been my rock. always therewhen i need assistance (and coffee) after a long night of writing alwayssympathetic when my lab or Word crashed for the umpteenth time andalways, always patient and understanding when i couldnt spend time withher due to juggling work and writing. Nat, you're an amazing woman withoutwhom i simply could not manage life. You are my everything this projectwould not have happened without you(again)Thanks to my contributing authors and good friends, Grant Orchard and JoshAtwell. Grant, thank you for taking on a large chunk of the work-there is noway i could have managed it all myself. Josh, thank you for your supportagain. Both of you are experts in your fields and i thank you for sharing thatknowledge with the readers; they are better equipped because of yourgenerosity. I would also like to thank elizabeth Watson and Stephanie atwelIm not sure if it's a coincidence or not but all three of our families werepregnant, moved house, and changed jobs in the process of writing this bookOn behalf of grant and Josh, we thank you for all that you do in our lives andplan to spend some more quality time with you going forwardWhile not contributing to this revision directly, Scott Lowes work is still verymuch evident in this series. He gave me a very solid foundation from which tobuild. Thank you again Scott, for your previous work your continuedsupport, and for writing the foreword. I look forward to working togethermore directly at some time in the futureId also like to thank my technical editor, Jason Boche.
