Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for Experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for using the advanced features of vRealize Automation in enterprise deployments. Overview By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives Describe and configure the vRealize Automation in a clustered enterprise deployment using VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager™ Scale VMware Identity Manager™ to support High Availability. Configure security certificates in vRealize Automation from external Certificate Authorities. Describe the clustered deployment architecture, including Kubernetes pods and services. Create and configure advanced blueprints with complex YAML and cloudConfig. Use vRealize Automation advanced blueprints to deploy an actual 2-tier DB-Server using MySQL and phpMyAdmin. Practice troubleshooting techniques with advanced YAML blueprints in vRealize Automation. Use advanced VMware NSX-TTM Data Center networking features including NAT, routed networks, load balancers, security groups, and tags. Use VMware Code Stream™ to integrate vRealize Automation with Kubernetes. Create Code Stream pipelines. Create and use Ansible playbooks that integrate with vRealize Automation. Configure vRealize Automation to integrate with Puppet. Configure and use ABX actions to create day-2 actions and interface with PowerShell scripts. Use vracli commands, log files, and VMware vRealize Log Insight™ to troubleshoot vRealize Automation and vRealize Automation deployments. This five-day course is a follow-on to the VMware vRealize© Automation? Install, Configure, Manage course. In this course you go deeper into the advanced features of vRealize Automation to deploy user systems and interface vRealize Automation with other platforms and you learn how to deploy an enterprise-level cluster environment using LCM. This course relies heavily on hands-on labs.
