Mastering VMware automation and cloud management skills using PowerCLI, VMware APIs, and vRealize Orchestrator

Original Description

Mastering VMware Automation and Cloud Management Skills to modernize operations and improve reliability at scale. This course focuses on automating day-to-day tasks with PowerCLI and VMware APIs, building repeatable workflows with vRealize Orchestrator, and applying cloud management tools to streamline provisioning, monitoring, and governance. Begin with automation fundamentals—what to automate, safe scripting, and best practices. Use PowerCLI to connect to vCenter and ESXi, automate virtual machine lifecycle tasks, and generate reports with practical cmdlets. Then explore REST APIs and orchestration to standardize changes, reduce manual work, and increase consistency. Next, examine VMware’s cloud portfolio: VMware Cloud Foundation for consistent infrastructure, VMware Cloud on AWS for hybrid scenarios, and VMware Aria and vRealize Operations for visibility, optimization, and policy-based control. Monitor clusters, migrations, storage, and performance with alerts, events, and dashboards. Conclude with a recap of key vSphere and NSX-T concepts, troubleshooting patterns, and lifecycle management to operate resilient and secure environments. By the end of this course, you will be able to: -Automate vSphere with PowerCLI, REST APIs, and orchestration. -Manage hybrid cloud with Cloud Foundation and VMware Cloud on AWS. -Monitor clusters, migrations, and performance using Aria and vRealize Operations. -Apply troubleshooting and lifecycle management best practices.
