VMware VCP-VCF Administrator (2V0-17.25) Certification Training Course
Build the private cloud skills employers need with Accumentum’s VMware VCP-VCF Administrator Certification Training Course, developed to help you install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot a VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 solution.
Course focus: vCenter, ESX, vSphere Supervisor, vSAN, NSX, VCF Identity Broker, VCF Automation, VCF Operations, VCF Operations for Logs, VCF Fleet Management, VCF Operations for Networks, and VCF Operations HCX.
Course Overview
Master VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 administration.
This course replaces Accumentum’s former vSphere v7.0 and vSphere v8.0 courses. VMware by Broadcom has retired the vSphere 7 exams and the VCP-DCV certification, and the current administrator credential for full private cloud environments is the VMware Certified Professional VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator (VCP-VCF Administrator), earned by passing exam 2V0-17.25. The VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Administrator exam covers VCF fundamentals plus deploying, configuring, and operating VCF. You work through compute with vCenter and ESX, storage with vSAN, networking with NSX, identity with VCF Identity Broker, automation with VCF Automation and vSphere Supervisor, and day two operations with VCF Operations, VCF Operations for Logs, VCF Operations for Networks, VCF Fleet Management, and VCF Operations HCX. If your environment runs standalone vSphere rather than the full VCF stack, ask us about the related VCP-VVF Administrator path (exam 2V0-16.25). You leave ready to sit the VCP-VCF Administrator exam and to run VCF environments with confidence.
