- Length: 5 Days
Overview:
This five-day course provides hands-on training to equip students with a range of skills, from performing routine VMware vSphere® 7 administrative tasks to complex vSphere operations and configurations. Through lab-based activities, students are immersed in real-life situations faced by VMBeans, a fictitious company. These situations expose students to real-life scenarios faced by companies that are building and scaling their virtual infrastructure.
Approximately 90% of the class is application-focused and taught through labs. The course aligns fully with the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization Deploy exam objectives. Product Alignment • VMware ESXi 7 • VMware vCenter Server 7 |
|
| Objectives: | By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives: • Configure and manage complex storage solutions in a vSphere environment (including NFS, iSCSI, and so on) • Configure and manage complex, scalable vSphere networking operations (vSphere Standard Switch and Distributed Switches) • Deploy, manage, and optimize virtual machines (advanced configuration, content library, latency-sensitive workloads, and more) • Manage business continuity and operations in your vSphere environment (VMware vCenter® Server Appliance™ file-based backup, VMware vCenter Server® profiles, host profiles, and so on) • Plan and implement increased vSphere security (use a Key Provider, VM Encryption, CPU scheduler remediations, and so on) • Troubleshoot the vSphere environment • Use VMware vSphere® Lifecycle Manager™ to upgrade to VMware ESXi™ hosts and virtual machines (VUM, image-based clusters, and so on) • Implement vSphere cluster solutions (Cluster QuickStart wizard, VMware vSphere® Distributed Resource Scheduler™, VMware vSphere® High Availability, VMware vSAN™, and so on) • Implement resource optimizations to streamline vSphere deployments • Create an advanced configuration of vCenter Server (including an identity source) |
