Corso VMware vSphere Foundation: Build, Manage and Operate
In collaborazione con Vega Training
Il Corso VMware vSphere Foundation: Build, Manage, and Operate offre ai partecipanti una formazione tecnica completa sulle competenze necessarie per distribuire, configurare e gestire ambienti VMware vSphere Foundation.
I partecipanti acquisiranno padronanza nell’amministrazione di un’infrastruttura vSphere che include VCF Operations 9.0, vCenter 9.0 e ESX 9.0, approfondendo l’architettura, le componenti e le funzionalità avanzate della piattaforma.
Il corso guida i partecipanti attraverso le fasi di installazione e configurazione di ESXi, la creazione di reti virtuali basate su vSphere Standard Switch e vSphere Distributed Switch, la gestione di datastore e l’utilizzo delle principali tecnologie di storage come Fibre Channel, iSCSI e NFS.
Ampio spazio viene dedicato alla gestione delle macchine virtuali (VM), includendo provisioning, clonazione, snapshot, e alla creazione di content libraries per il deployment e la standardizzazione degli ambienti. Viene inoltre trattata la configurazione di cluster vSphere abilitati a vSphere High Availability (HA) e vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), con analisi delle policy di allocazione delle risorse e delle strategie di failover.
Il corso contribuisce alla preparazione dell’esame di Certificazione VMware Certified Professional – VMware vSphere Foundation Administrator (VCP VVF Admin).
Cosa imparerai a fare
I partecipanti impareranno a gestire ambienti vSAN comprendendo le differenze tra OSA ed ESA, la gestione dei componenti e la valutazione delle performance.
La formazione copre anche l’integrazione con vSphere Kubernetes Service, illustrando l’architettura del Supervisor Service, la gestione dei namespace e dei cluster Kubernetes, oltre all’uso di VCF Operations per metriche, dashboard e alert personalizzati.
Infine, viene affrontato il lifecycle management di vSphere Foundation, comprendendo gli strumenti come vCenter Update Planner e vSphere Lifecycle Manager per l’aggiornamento e la manutenzione delle componenti.
