Course Overview
The Multi-Cloud Livefire: Advanced Integration course is aimed at enabling VMware’s field team and partners to successfully undertake complex end-to-end projects involving VMware Cloud Services, new vSphere features and other Multi-Cloud solutions. Course material builds on the fundamental knowledge acquired from obtaining the VCP-Cloud Management and Automation certification or equivalent knowledge and is designed to challenge the attendee to deploy and configure a fully integrated multi-cloud environment based on a detailed plan. In addition to learning how to successfully create solutions by integrating Cloud Services and Multi-Cloud solutions, attendees will also explore integrating other services around security and monitoring services such as vROPS Cloud, vRLI, vRNI and Wavefront. Configure advanced dashboards and reporting to assist in troubleshooting complex integrated environments. Individuals will exit this course with the confidence and competence necessary to successfully deploy Cloud Services based solutions in a customer production environment.
