VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 and 5.2
A few weeks ago, VMware launched VCF 9.0, the latest incarnation of VMware vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and Aria, along with other associated products.
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is the industry’s first private cloud platform to deliver public cloud scale and agility with on-premises security, resilience, and performance, while lowering total cost of ownership. VCF accelerates customers’ digital innovation with faster infrastructure modernisation, a unified cloud experience, along with stronger cyber resilience and platform security.
VMware Cloud Foundation is a platform that enables you to modernise infrastructure, accelerate developer productivity and provide greater resilience and security.
It gives access to high-value advanced services for:
- Application and Network Security
- App Platforms
- Ransomware Recovery
- Private AI
Current product
VMware still have VCF 5.2 as a current product; it includes vSphere version 8, NSX 4.2, and vSAN version 8, along with the Aria suite, and Private AI support.
VMware training at QA
At QA, we are a VMware Education Delivery Partner for VCF and run the entire VMware set of vSphere and associated courses that allow you to learn and then implement the VMware Cloud Foundation suite of products.
If you are still running VCF 5.2 or are looking to deploy VCF 5.2, the following course may be of use:
VMware Cloud Foundation: Deploy, Configure, Manage [V5.2]
This five-day course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in deploying, managing, and operating VMware Cloud Foundation. You will learn about the architecture of VMware Cloud Foundation, storage and network management, licensing, and certificates. In addition to workload domains, availability, life cycle management, and troubleshooting, the course also covers VMware Aria Suite integration and VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA architecture and components.
VCF 9.0 training
However, if you are looking at moving towards VCF 9.0, VMware are releasing a number of courses relating to the VCF 9.0 product and we will be scheduling and running these courses.
- VMware Cloud Foundation: Build, Manage and Secure [V9.0]
- VMware Cloud Foundation: Automate and Operate [V9.0]
- VMware Cloud Foundation: Troubleshooting [V9.0]
- VMware Cloud Foundation: Solution Architecture & Design [V9.0]
The VMware Cloud Foundation Stack is huge - I find that I lose my voice explaining all the features!
Fortunately, VMware have released an architecture poster to help explain:
As we learn more, and as VMware release more training and enhance the product, I will share the information I gain via more in-depth blogs explaining what is covered on each course.
