This course dives into the role of a hybrid cloud engineer and how to use HCI using Nutanix’s Prism web console to configure the different components of a private cloud cluster. We discuss the importance of security and how to manage virtual machines, including data protection, risk calculation and creating backups. By the end of this course, students will be able to deploy and manage private cloud workloads using best practices and industry standards.

Requirements

Well-prepared learners will have familiarity with command line on Linux or Windows, virtual machines (VMs) using on-premise hypervisors or the public cloud, basic web servers, and basic database and SQL.
