VMware vSphere: Administration and Managemnt

This five-day training course provides hands-on training to equip students with a range of skills, from performing routine VMware vSphere® 7 administrative and management tasks to complex vSphere operations and configurations. Through activities, participants 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.

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)
