What is VMware VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation)?
VMware VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation) is an advanced-level, 3 months instructor-led course that prepares you for the 2V0-17.25 exam at INFOTICS Academy in Karachi. Delivery: Live online / on-site (Karachi). The course fee is PKR 250,000. Register your interest and we will tell you when the next batch opens.
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) bundles compute (vSphere), storage (vSAN), networking (NSX) and cloud management into one integrated, lifecycle-managed platform. Running it well means understanding how the pieces fit together: management and workload domains, SDDC Manager, host commissioning, network and storage design, upgrades and day-2 operations.
This programme is for engineers who already know vSphere and want to operate a full private-cloud stack. Labs walk through planning and prerequisites, deployment and bring-up concepts, creating workload domains, configuring NSX networking and vSAN storage policies, and running lifecycle operations such as bundle downloads, upgrades, certificate and password management.
