The VMware vCloud training course, is focused on enterprise usage in a private cloud. You will learn how this approach supports moving to a hybrid or public cloud. By performing hands-on labs, you will learn how IT resources are delivered and consumed in a vCloud environment. Instructors will demonstrate the basics of how the vCloud solution abstracts, allocates, and meters IT resources in a vCloud environment. This course is not VMware vCloud Director system administration training. The focus is on demonstrating the features and benefits of the vCloud solution rather than the details of how to install, configure, and manage the components.
The VMware vCloud - Design training course is designed to guide you through the decision points and policy choices available for designing and implementing a VMware vCloud environment. You will learn the effects of design choices in VMware vSphere, VMware vCloud Director, VMware vCenter Chargeback, and the VMware vShield Edge capability that is included with vCloud Director.
