Master the deployment, administration, and lifecycle management of modern private cloud infrastructure with this intensive preparation course for the VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Administrator (2V0-17.25) certification exam.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of hybrid cloud and Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) technologies, professionals who can operate and manage VMware Cloud Foundation environments are becoming essential in enterprise IT. This course is designed to help you build the real-world operational skills required to confidently administer VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 environments and succeed in the official certification exam.

Instead of relying only on theory, this course focuses on practical administration tasks performed inside enterprise-grade VMware environments. You will work with VMware Cloud Foundation components including vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and SDDC Manager while learning how to deploy, configure, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot production-ready infrastructure.

• What You Will Master:

VMware Cloud Foundation Architecture: Understand management domains, workload domains, SDDC architecture, and how VMware Cloud Foundation integrates compute, storage, and networking into a unified platform.

SDDC Manager Operations: Perform lifecycle management, workload domain deployment, host commissioning, certificate management, backup operations, and software updates using SDDC Manager.

vSphere Administration: Configure and manage ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, clusters, resource pools, distributed switches, virtual machines, templates, snapshots, and high availability features.

vSAN Storage Management: Deploy and administer vSAN clusters, storage policies, fault domains, data protection, capacity management, and storage troubleshooting techniques.

NSX Networking & Security: Configure virtual networking, segments, gateways, distributed firewalls, network services, and secure communication between workloads inside VMware Cloud Foundation environments.

Lifecycle & Patch Management: Manage upgrades, patches, firmware compatibility, and infrastructure health while maintaining operational continuity across the entire SDDC stack.

Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Diagnose issues related to networking, storage, compute, authentication, cluster services, workload performance, and system health using VMware administrative tools and logs.

Security & Access Control: Configure identity sources, role-based access control, certificate management, and infrastructure hardening best practices for enterprise deployments.
