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:

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. It's a cost effective option.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
