Virtana Community Guidelines

Welcome to the Virtana Community! This is a place for all Virtana Platform users to ask questions, provide answers, and share best practices with one another. Take a look at our guidelines below to get the most out of our community.

Be Respectful And Helpful

• Treat others with respect as our community has all different types of users who are interested in maximizing their knowledge and usage of Virtana Platform. 
• Use appropriate language and tone when communicating with one another.
• Share what you know and don’t be afraid to ask for help from others (You can @mention your peers in your posts!)

Keep It Neat And Tidy

• Avoid making duplicative posts by using the search bar to find articles and previous posts. Your question (or answer) may already be there! If not, find the right section to make a new post. 
• Avoid commenting or “bumping” older threads that are not relevant to your question.
• Use descriptive details and provide enough details! Help the community by giving enough context for your question or idea, and we’ll do our best to join in.

Make This Your Own

This is a community, and you are an owner of this space! If you see something that can be improved, make it known. If you see something that doesn’t belong or violates our guidelines, report it. (Please see below for more information on reporting.) This is your opportunity to take our community to the next level and share your knowledge about building and managing your hybrid cloud environments using Virtana Platform. Thank you for joining the Virtana Community, and remember to have fun!
