VMware vSphere: What's New [V8]

Instructor-Led 13 Agenda

Description

In this two-day course, you explore the new features and enhancements following VMware vCenter Server 8.0 and VMware ESXi 8.0. Real-world use-case scenarios, hands-on lab exercises, and lectures teach you the skills that you need to effectively implement and configure VMware vSphere 8.0.

Course Overview

Course Objective

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives: Recognize the importance of key features and enhancements in vSphere 8.0 Describe vCenter Server, VMware ESXi, storage, virtual machine, and security enhancements in vSphere 8.0 Describe the purpose of vSphere Distributed Services Engine Update an ESXi host equipped with a Data Processing Unit (DPU) using vSphere Lifecycle Manager Identify devices supported for system storage on ESXi 8.0 Recognize enhancements to VM hardware compatibility settings VMware vSphere Memory Monitoring and Remediation and the improvements to vSphere DRS Recognize the new Virtual Non-Uniform Memory Access (vNUMA) topology settings of a VM in vSphere Client Use vSphere Lifecycle Manager and Auto Deploy to manage the configuration specifications for the hosts in a cluster Recognize the vSphere Lifecycle Manager and Auto Deploy enhancements in vSphere 8.0 Recognize the cloud benefits that VMware vSphere+ brings to on-premises workloads Recognize technology that is discontinued or deprecated in vSphere 8.0

Who Should Attend

System architects, system administrators, IT managers, VMware partners, and individuals responsible for implementing and managing vSphere architectures who want to deploy vSphere 8.0 into their existing vSphere environment.
