vSphere 8: Managing vSphere Resources
This course will teach you how to efficiently manage VMware vSphere 8 resources, including CPU, memory, storage, and networking using resource pools and I/O control. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to utilize vSphere resource management.
What you'll learn
Managing VMware vSphere resources is critical to ensure that your applications perform well, but it can be confusing. In this course, vSphere 8: Managing vSphere Resources, you'll learn how to efficiently manage VMware vSphere 8 resources. First, you'll learn about memory and CPU resources in vSphere. Next, you'll delve into resource management by creating multi-level resource pools, shares, reservations, and limits. Finally, you’ll explore how to apply those same vSphere resource management constructs to networking and storage by configuring vSphere storage I/O and network I/O control. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to utilize vSphere resource management like a pro!
