Course Description
VMware vSphere is an industry-leading virtualization platform.
In this course you'll learn the information necessary to create a full vSphere lab environment, running on a Gigabyte BRIX Mini-PC. After the initial lab creation, using Image Builder and PowerCLI, you'll learn the basics of how the vSphere components work.
We'll then go through the configuration of networking and storage, including VSAN. We'll go through creating a virtual machine and using templates and clones, and then we'll cover using vMotion and Snapshots.
After the completion of this course, you'll have a running VMware vSphere environment for use for exam prep, or to improve your knowledge and experience with vSphere.

It is almost great, just it skips some important parts, like connecting hardware and getting back to hardware and architecture from time to time. I know it is implicitly understandable, but not for everybody. Beginners could get lost, as it is not strictly comprehensible, where is the screen at every point: on host, on hyperviser, on local laptop... I am catching it, but not everybody will.

this has been very education and the step by step process - easy to understand.

It was a good course and about what I expected. Only constructive criticism was the version of web browser the instructor used did not completely match up with the standard Microsoft browsers. The browser difference was a little distracting.

It was a great review/Introduction. I feel that if I hadn't already known most everything presented, I would have been lost. So much information to cover in so little timeframe.

You did a great job of explaining key concepts. Very clear and easy to understand even for a novice like myself. I definitely learned a lot from your course and I am looking forward to some of your other courses as well. Thanks.. Great lesson.

Great course, especially because of the more hands-on nature and the clear instructions by the instructor. It is not indepth in its explorations of features, but it is practical, and the instructor does have other classes that provide indepth information.
