Want to learn about VMware vSphere? This course is full of demos, diagrams, and clear explanations of vSphere conceptsAbout This VideoLearn to Create and manage Virtual Machines (VM) and vAppsLearn to Create vSphere Standard and Distributed SwitchesIn DetailThis course gives you an understanding of vSphere foundational concepts. VMware vSphere is everywhere. Non-virtualized datacenters are a thing of the past, and in order to stay relevant you must understand vSphere. This course builds off my Clear and Simple vSphere Certified Associate videos, and gives you a deeper understanding of vSphere. You will learn about vSphere concepts such as VMFS and NFS storage, templates, cloning, vCenter and ESXi installation, Update Manager, and VSAN. I will also provide live demos of many common tasks that you may need to perform as a vSphere Administrator using the vSphere Web Client.This course will also help you prepare for the VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations exam.The caption files for this title are available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Clear-and-Simple-VMware-vSphere-6.5-Foundations-VCP---Part-1
