The course begins by showing how to verify virtual machine resource configurations, including how to adjust the CPU and memory resource settings and analyze the results of your configurations. Plus, learn about resource pools, expandable reservations, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), DRS monitoring, and DRS affinity rules.
