This three-day training course equips you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to design a VMware vSphere® 7 virtual infrastructure. You follow a proven approach to design a virtualization solution that ensures availability, manageability, performance, recoverability, and security, and that uses VMware best practices. This course discusses the benefits and risks of available design alternatives and provides information to support making sound design decisions
- Given a case study, you practice your design skills by working with peers on a design project.
Skills Gained
By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
- Identify the business objectives for the vSphere environment
- Identify business requirements, constraints, assumptions, and risks for all layers in the vSphere environment
- Apply a framework to a design
- Analyze design choices and best-practice recommendations
- Create a design that ensures availability, manageability, performance, recoverability, and security
- Design the core management infrastructure for an enterprise
- Design the virtual data center for an enterprise

We covered a lot of material in three days. This was a real crash course in different AWS Infrastructure.
Gave an in depth introduction to Security Practices on AWS with a lot of practical examples. I do think the labs could be structured so that they are a bit less cut and paste oriented, but I am guessing that they are trying to shorten the amount of time it takes to get through them to include more topics.
Should allow student to download the software of the e-Textbook though out agency can't give the permition to download file out of the firewall.
Kudos to EC, with excellent trainers and a highly satisfying learning experience. The environment was clean and welcoming, and the team was very accommodating.
The course is well organized, and I would recommend it. The cadence can be faster.
