Unlike generic online tutorials that only show GUI wizards, this course dives under the hood into storage controller queues, packet traces across distributed virtual switches, and diagnosing PSODs (Purple Screen of Death) to build genuine enterprise-tier operational authority.

Complete Course Syllabus

01.Module 1: Advanced vSphere 8.x Architecture & ESXi Internals

  • Enterprise cluster design, DRS/HA advanced constraints, NUMA architecture
  • ESXi kernel troubleshooting, PSOD (Purple Screen) debugging & core dump analysis
  • Broadcom licensing shifts: VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation) architecture baseline

02.Module 2: Software-Defined Storage (vSAN Deep Dive)

  • vSAN OSA vs. ESA architecture, storage policies (SPBM) and failure tolerance (FTT)
  • Disk group sizing, fault domain topologies, NVMe deduplication & cache layer tuning
  • Disaster recovery runbooks: Witness node deployment and stretched cluster design

03.Module 3: NSX-T Data Center & Software-Defined Networking

  • Micro-segmentation architecture, distributed firewall (DFW) zero-trust rule sets
  • NSX Edge clusters: Tier-0/Tier-1 gateways, BGP peering, NAT, and Load Balancers
  • Cross-datacenter IPSEC VPNs, overlay encapsulation (GENEVE), and network audits

04.Module 4: Day-2 Automation & AIOps Runbooks

  • Automating ESXi & VM lifecycle deployments with Ansible and PowerShell/PowerCLI
  • AI-assisted infrastructure operations: Prompt engineering for IT Ops runbooks & instant RCA drafting
  • Capacity planning, performance optimization metrics (vROPS / Wavefront), and executive QBR reporting
