VMware Cloud on AWS: Design, Configure, Manage 2023

VMware ATC Logo

This Advanced course is run directly by VMware.

Please Note:The acquisition of Broadcom has optimized the VMware course portfolio for the revised go-to-market strategy. In future, the focus will be on the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) portfolio. All courses that do not belong to this portfolio will be transferred to "End of Availability" (EOA) status on March 1, 2024. This means that this course will only be available until March.

This four-day, hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools for deploying and managing a VMware Cloud™ on AWS infrastructure. You will explore the common use cases of the VMware Cloud on AWS infrastructure that allows you to modernize, protect, and scale applications based on VMware vSphere® that leverage AWS. 

In this course, you are introduced to various rapid and easy migration options for workloads based on vSphere to VMware Cloud on AWS. In addition, you are presented with VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery™, which is a Disaster Recovery as-a-service (DRaaS) solution, with fast recovery capabilities, that can be used to cost-effectively protect a broad set of your virtualized applications.
