Enspire Training CourseVMware vSphere: Fast Track

Explore the features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure. This 5-day intensive course takes participants from introductory to advanced VMware vSphere 7 management skills. Building on the installation and configuration content from our best-selling course, students will also develop advanced skills needed to manage and maintain a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, students will install, configure and manage vSphere 7. Participants will explore the features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure and discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. This course prepares learners to administer a vSphere infrastructure for an organization of any size using vSphere 7, which includes VMware ESXi 7 and VMware vCenter Server 7. Prerequisites for this more intense course recommends system administration experience on Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems. Note: attendance of this course meets the training requirement to achieve the following certification:

• VMware Certified Professional – Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV)

VMware Vision: The Essential, Ubiquitous Digital Foundation! The recent release of VMware Sphere 7 represents the most significant enhancements to vSphere in over a decade! vSphere 7, available through VMware Cloud Foundation, extends native support for Kubernetes.

What is new?  vSphere 7 now powers the computing environment for modern applications and business critical applications. Applications can now be deployed using any combination of virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes.

What does it mean for your operations?  You can run containers and virtual machines on the same vSphere platform you use today, with just a simple software upgrade to vSphere 7.  New vSphere 7 release capabilities are focused on significantly improving developer and operator productivity, regardless of whether you are running containers. Other critical capabilities offered with vSphere 7 include:

• Simplified, Automated Lifecycle Management across Software and Hardware
• Intrinsic Security and Control in a Policy-Driven Model, Application Acceleration across Virtual Machines
• Streamlined Development with built-in Kubernetes APIs (via Tanzu Kubernetes Grid)
• Centralized Control of Cloud infrastructure via API Access to All Core Services

Target Audience
System Administrators and System Engineers
