Course Overview
This four-day, hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools for deploying and managing a VMware Cloud™ on AWS infrastructure. You will explore the common use cases of the VMware Cloud on AWS infrastructure that allows you to modernize, protect, and scale applications based on VMware vSphere® that leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS).
In this course, you are introduced to various rapid and easy migration options for moving workloads based on vSphere from on-prem to VMware Cloud on AWS. In addition, you are presented with VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery™, which is a Disaster Recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) solution. This solution provides fast recovery capabilities that can be used to cost-effectively protect a broad set of your virtualized applications.
