During this five-day course, you focus on using VMware vRealize® Orchestrator™ to extend the functionality of VMware vRealize® Automation™. You learn how to provide XaaS (Anything as a Service) and implement Machine Lifecycle Extensibility using the vRealize Automation Event Broker. You also learn how to create vRealize Orchestrator workflows. Features include basic scripting implementation along with logic processing to implement a variety of functions to use in your environment. This course teaches implementing debugging, loops, conditions, and user interactions in vRealize Orchestrator. The course introduces the new vRealize Orchestrator HTML 5 interface, along with API calls and REST functions, to give the groundwork to implement a variety of plugins and scripts. This course was designed to give you the tools to craft custom solutions in the product.

It was great content, some additional exam prep focus would have been nice. I believe everyone in the class has the goal of passing some AWS cert exams.
Friendly, easy to use interface. Was very helpful for labs and following along with class material.
Good course for beginner, MSP users; and a good refresher for those of us that have used MSP in the past.
ExitCertified has well experienced and professional instructors that make their training sessions a remarkable one.
Great content and great delivery. Will definitely like to take more classes with Ruben if possible
