VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [V6.7] Training & Certification Course
Overview
This five-day course teaches you advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you configure and optimize the VMware vSphere® 6.7 features that build a foundation for truly scalable infrastructure, and you discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. This course deepens your understanding of vSphere and how its advanced features and controls can benefit your organization.
By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
• Configure and manage vSphere networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise
• Use VMware vSphere® Client™, VMware vSphere® Web Client, and VMware vSphere® ESXi™ Shell to
manage vSphere
• Create a content library for deploying virtual machines
• Use VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy™ and host profiles to provision VMware ESXi™ hosts and manage
ESXi host compliance
• Monitor and analyze key performance indicators for compute, storage, and networking resources for ESXi
hosts
• Optimize the performance of ESXi and VMware vCenter Server®
• Harden the vSphere environment against security threats
You must complete one of the following prerequisites:
• Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.7] course
• Equivalent knowledge and administration experience with ESXi and vCenter Server
