Tento pětidenní kurz vám poskytne znalosti, dovednosti a schopnosti potřebné k získání kompetencí v oblasti automatizace a provozu privátního cloudu VCF pomocí VMware® Cloud Foundation™ Automation and Operations. Seznámíte se s architekturou VCF Automation, správou poskytovatelů a organizací, sítí pro poskytovatele a organizace a správou knihoven obsahu (Content Library). Dále se kurz zaměřuje na tvorbu blueprintů, správu katalogů, správu supervisorů a nasazování workloadů prostřednictvím portálů Catalog a IaaS. V části věnované VCF Operations získáte přehled o tomto řešení, jeho architektuře a práci s uživatelským rozhraním. Naučíte se také přizpůsobovat upozornění (alerts), vytvářet a upravovat pohledy, reporty, dashboardy a politiky.

Součástí kurzu je rovněž vysvětlení konceptů VCF Logs, monitorování stavu a diagnostiky úložišť, práce s nástrojem Workbench, zjišťování služeb (Service Discovery) a monitorování aplikací (Application Monitoring).
