About this course
This course develops practical capability in Hyper-V. Its course-specific content covers Hyper-V architecture, Network and storage, Guest operations, Protection and continuity, followed by an applied project focused on build and manage a hyper-v host lab. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Hyper-V or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of virtualization & data centers. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Build and manage a Hyper-V host lab
Deliver build and manage a hyper-v host lab. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
