In this five-day course, you focus on installing, configuring, and managing on-premises VMware Cloud Director 10.6. You will learn how to set up and manage VMware Cloud Director, including the provisioning of workloads, creating organizations and Virtual Data Centers (VDCs), and use catalog services that include predefined virtual machines. You will learn about different networks that a system administrator and an organization administrator can configure and use with virtual machines and vApps.

This five-day course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in automating and operating a VCF private cloud using VMware Cloud Foundation® Automation and VMware Cloud Foundation® Operations. You will learn about the architecture of VCF Automation, provider and organization management, provider and organization networking, and content library management. The course covers blueprints, catalogs, Supervisor management, and deploying workloads using the Catalog and IaaS portals. You will learn about VCF Operations overview, architecture, and navigating the user interface. You will explore customizing alerts, views, reports, dashboards, and policies. This course also explains VCF logs, storage, and network operations, health and diagnostics, service discovery, and application monitoring concepts.

This five-day course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in deploying, managing, operating and securing private cloud using VMware Cloud Foundation® (VCF). You will learn about the architecture of VCF, storage and network management, licensing, and certificates. In addition to workload domains, availability, and life cycle management, the course also covers upgrade scenarios.

This five-day course provides the knowledge and skills to build, manage, and secure a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud. You will explore VCF architecture, licensing models, and Private Cloud components at both the fleet and instance levels. The course covers end-to-end fleet deployment using the VCF Installer, post-deployment tasks including VCF Operations component setup, and fleet management through Single Sign-On configuration, VCF Identity Broker, role-based access control, and credential management. You will also deploy and manage workload domains, configure VMware NSX networking with Virtual Private Cloud constructs and Transit Gateway configurations, and manage vSAN storage using policies, fault domains, and VCF Operations monitoring tools.

The course also covers VCF certificate management using SDDC Manager with Microsoft CA, OpenSSL CA, and third-party certificate authorities. Students will perform lifecycle management operations including patching and upgrading VCF management and fleet components, and executing backup and restore procedures across the VCF fleet. In the VCF Security section, you will define security, compliance, and resilience in VCF, assess compliance posture using Security Posture Management, monitor security health through the Security Operations Dashboard, and review audit trail events. The course concludes with VCF upgrade paths to version 9.1, covering supported upgrade scenarios from vSphere 8.0 and VCF 5.2 environments.

This five-day course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in deploying, managing, and operating VMware® Cloud Foundation™. You will learn about the architecture of VMware Cloud Foundation, storage and network management, licensing, and certificates. In addition to workload domains, availability, life cycle management, and troubleshooting, the course also covers VMware® Aria Suite™ integration and VMware® Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA architecture and components.

This five day course explores the architecture and design considerations for an initial deployment of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). The course explains the architecture framework and language, as well as design considerations for building, operationalizing, and consuming a VMware Cloud Foundation deployment. The scope of the course is centered on the core design considerations applicable to a VMware Cloud Foundation deployment in a single site.

This course teaches the architectural constructs, design patterns and decision-making discipline needed to design a VMware Cloud Foundation solution at enterprise scale. You will be taken through a logical design sequence: the shape of the fleet, the management plane, the domain and cluster layout for each instance, and how a tenant consumes VCF services and resources. Physical design considerations are examined, along with network, storage, and the recovery design. You will apply design principles to a case study throughout, to reinforce key design decisions and how they can be applied in practice.

This three-day training course provides the advanced knowledge, skills, and tools to achieve competency in troubleshooting problems in VMware Cloud Foundation™ infrastructure. In this course you are exposed to tools and methodologies that help you support and troubleshoot your VMware Cloud Foundation environment. In addition, various scenarios are presented to you in hands-on student labs and simulations where you will learn to identify, analyze, and solve problems systematically in VMware Cloud Foundation infrastructure.

This comprehensive hands-on training is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in troubleshooting the VMware® Cloud Foundation™ (VCF) 9.0 environments. This course blends lectures and hands-on lab exercises to develop advanced skills to diagnose and resolve problems in VCF environments. This course also focuses on investigating and resolving problems and analyzing log files to help you recognize log file entries that identify root causes.
