Duration 3 Days 18 CPD hours This course is intended for This course is intended for network administrators, operators, and engineers responsible for managing the normal day-to-day operation and administration of BIG-IP Access Policy Manager Overview This course provides the skills to create and manage BIG-IP APM system. This course covers three typical deployment scenarios for BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) and is broken into three individual lessons. In lesson one, you learn how to configure BIG-IP APM to provide Active Directory-based authentication for a load-balanced pool of web servers. In lesson two, you learn how to create a policy that provides an SSL VPN (Network Access) resource to users, but only when they log into BIG-IP APM using a corporate-issued PC. Finally, lesson three builds on the first two lessons to create a policy that provides a dynamic landing page with both SSL VPN as well as an OWA (Portal Access) resource, but only to users with special authorization.

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.
