vSphere 6.5 Foundations: Availability and Resource Management
Watch this course to learn how to administer VMware vSphere 6.5 resources and availability including vSphere resource pools and advanced features like high availability, distributed resource scheduler, vSphere Data Protection, and Fault Tolerance.
What you'll learn
VMware vSphere is all about abstracting away physical constructs and pooling resources. However, you can take pooling too far and run out of capacity. In this course, vSphere 6.5 Foundations: Availability and Resource Management, you'll discover how to efficiently administer VMware vSphere 6.5 resources and availability by learning some of the advanced features it has to offer. First, you'll delve into resource management and distributed resource scheduler. Then, you'll explore vSphere availability features like vSphere High Availability (HA), Fault Tolerance (FT). Finally, you'll wrap up by learning about Data Protection. By the end of the course, you'll know everything you need to know for the vSphere Foundations exam.
