Want to learn vRealize Automation, but don't know how to even install it?
The objective of this course is to take you from zero knowledge on vRA, to being able to deploy it, and setup a basic blueprint, as well as present that blueprint in a self-service catalog. At the conclusion of this course, you'll have all of the tools, knowledge, and experience necessary to move into advanced vRAtopics and deployments
VMware vRealize Automation(vRA) allows users to create self-service portals, automate the delivery of virtual machines, applications, and IT infrastructure. Automating the delivery of these services enables the consistent delivery of this infrastructure, which means we can ensure security is implemented correctly every time, and we can scale to very large deployments..

About your Instructor
Hi!My name is Mike, and teaching has been my passion for 10+ years. My background is primarily in Network, Virtualization, and Automation. I've spent time working for large organizations, both as a customer, a professional services engineer, and an architect. I also have experience working for several large OEMs. I firmly believe in learning by doing, so what you will not find in my courses is a lotof slides!Ilike to spend as much time as possible in the GUI/CLI as I believe that's where the real learning happens!
