This course prepares you for the VMware vSphere 8.x Professional certification (2V0-21.23), focusing on virtualization, infrastructure management, networking, storage, security, automation, and troubleshooting. Designed for system administrators, virtualization engineers, cloud specialists, and IT professionals, it aligns with official VMware exam objectives and equips you with the skills to deploy, manage, and optimize vSphere 8.x environments.

The course covers core vSphere architecture and explores how to configure, secure, and maintain virtual machines, ESXi hosts, vCenter servers, networking, and storage. You’ll gain insights into managing enterprise workloads, automating administrative tasks, and optimizing system performance in VMware-powered environments.

Key topics include:

• vSphere 8.x architecture: ESXi, vCenter Server, and management components

• VM deployment & configuration: creating, cloning, and managing virtual machines

• Networking: configuring vSphere Standard Switches (vSS) and vSphere Distributed Switches (vDS)

• Storage management: VMFS, vSAN, NFS, and storage policies

• Resource optimization: DRS, vMotion, and high availability (HA) configurations

• Security & compliance: identity management, role-based access control, and certificate management

• Troubleshooting techniques: diagnosing performance issues and resolving common failures

• Automation tools: vSphere CLI, PowerCLI, and integration with vRealize
