Length – 5 days
Overview
During this five-day course, you focus on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vRealize Automation. You learn about how vRealize Automation can be used to automate the delivery of virtual machines, applications, and personalized IT services across different data centers and hybrid cloud environments.
The course covers how to manage both on-premise systems and cloud services. The course covers how vRealize Automation Service Broker can aggregate content in native formats from multiple clouds and platforms into a common catalog. This course also covers interfacing vRealize Automation with other systems using VMware vRealize Orchestrator and how to use vRealize Automation to manage Kubernetes systems and leverage systems like Ansible.
