Welcome to the new VMware Learning training course and certification exam blog for January 2021. VMware Learning released three (3) new courses and four (4) new exams to help you develop your skills and increase your knowledge. The VMware Learning team has transitioned all scheduled in-person trainings to a virtual (live online) format. Now is the time, even while working from home, to learn how to take full advantage of innovative VMware technologies. Summaries are provided below.
New Courses
VMware vSAN
VMware vSAN: Management and Operations [V7]
In this course, equivalent to 3 days of training, you learn about managing and operating VMware vSAN™ 7. This course focuses on building the required skills for common Day-2 vSAN administrator tasks such as, vSAN node management, cluster maintenance, security operations and advanced vSAN cluster operations. You also gain practical experience through the completion of instructor-led activities and hands-on lab exercises.
VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere: Advanced Administration Workshop [V7]
This five-day course provides hands-on training to equip students with a range of skills: from performing routine VMware vSphere® 7 administrative tasks to complex vSphere operations and configurations. Through lab-based activities, students are immersed in real-life situations faced by VMBeans, a fictitious company. These situations expose students to real-life scenarios faced by companies that are building and scaling their virtual infrastructure.
This course uses scenario-based lab exercises and does not provide guided step-by-step instructions. To complete the scenario-based lab exercises, you are required to analyze the task, research, and deduce the required solution. References and suggested documentation are provided.
Approximately 90% of the class is application-focused and taught through labs. The course aligns fully with the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization Deploy exam objectives.
