About this course
This course develops practical capability in Virtualization Fundamentals. Its course-specific content covers Hypervisor concepts, Virtual machine lifecycle, Virtual infrastructure, Lab validation, followed by an applied project focused on build and document a two-vm virtual lab. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Learners starting in virtualization & data centers and professionals who want an organized foundation before more advanced work.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and comfort using the relevant operating system. No prior production experience is assumed; any lab accounts or software are confirmed before training.
Build and document a two-VM virtual lab
Deliver build and document a two-vm virtual 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.
