Overview

This five-day course focuses on designing and deploying an enterprise cloud by using a distributed architecture deployment of VMware vRealize Automation . The lecture and labs concentrate on designing an enterprise cloud architecture and the effective implementation of a vRealize Automation distributed deployment according to VMware recommended best practices.

Product Alignment:

- vSphere 6

- vRealize Automation 7

- VMware vRealize Orchestrator

- vRealize Log Insight

- vCloud Air

Audience

Experienced system administrators, cloud administrators, system integrators, and deployment consultants.

Skills Gained

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:

  • Apply enterprise design principles
  • Design and deploy a tiered VMware vSphere resource architecture for CPU, storage, and network resources, including VMware NSX
  • Design and deploy a vRealize Automation distributed infrastructure for an enterprise cloud
  • Design and deploy a CA certificate/single sign-on architecture that includes Active Directory integration to support the enterprise cloud infrastructure
  • Design and deploy an administration architecture of roles for an enterprise cloud
  • Design and deploy a tenant-and-business group architecture for an enterprise cloud
  • Design and deploy compute resources, reservation policies, network profiles, and reservations to support your enterprise cloud
  • Use XaaS to extend vRealize Automation into other enterprise systems
  • Integrate vRealize Automation with IP address management systems and asset management systems 
  • Describe VMware vCloud Air integration for elastic clouds
  • Describe the location and identity of all log files that relate to vRealize Automation troubleshooting
  • Use VMware vRealize Log Insight to manage and monitor distributed vRealize Automation deployments

Prerequisites

This class requires understanding the concepts and topics presented in the following courses:
