Omschrijving
This four-day, hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools for deploying and managing a VMware Cloud™ on AWS infrastructure. You explore the common use cases of the VMware Cloud on AWS infrastructure that allows you to modernize, protect, and scale applications based on VMware vSphere® that leverage AWS.
In this course, you are introduced to various rapid and easy migration options for workloads based on vSphere to VMware Cloud on AWS. In addition, you are presented with VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery™, which is a Disaster Recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) solution, with fast recovery capabilities, that can be used to cost-effectively protect a broad set of your virtualized applications.
Intended Audience
Experienced system administrators, system engineers, and system integrators
