VMware Cloud Foundation: Automate and Operate [V9.0]

Last Updated: 25-05-2026

Once a software-defined data center is built, the true challenge begins: driving efficient utilization, maintaining bulletproof performance, and automating self-service access at scale. VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF): Automate and Operate [V9.0] shifts your focus from initial deployment to highly advanced Day-2 operations.

This comprehensive, hands-on training explores the multi-tenant architecture of modern VCF environments using VCF Automation and VCF Operations. You will transition from manual infrastructure management to designing robust, automated consumption models utilizing Regions, Organizations, and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Simultaneously, you will dive deep into monitoring analytics, learning to build custom dashboards, configure advanced alerting, and exploit VCF's built-in troubleshooting engines to diagnose storage, network, and application health before issues impact your production workloads.
