VMware is a Dell EMC business that dominates the virtualization platform industry worldwide. The VCP-DCV 2021 certification verifies a candidate’s ability to install, maintain, and troubleshoot a vSphere infrastructure utilising best practises. You’ll learn how to to offer a strong, adaptable, and secure basis for business agility that helps speed up the cloud computing transition.

vSphere 7 is designed to handle contemporary apps and hybrid cloud environments. In the future years, businesses will increasingly use cloud-native tools and methodologies to develop apps. Deploying and maintaining contemporary apps is much more difficult.

vSphere 7 is built for supporting modern applications and the hybrid cloud. In the coming years, enterprises will build more and more applications using cloud-native tools and methods. There is a lot more complexity in deploying and managing modern applications. vSphere 7 with Kubernetes (formerly known as Project Pacific) is based on VMware Cloud Foundation 4 (VCF) and will help with this complexity.

This course takes you from introductory to advanced VMware vSphere management skills. Starting with the knowledge required to install and configure, you will also develop the advanced skills needed to manage and maintain a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. You will explore the features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure, and discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect.
