Course Overview

TheCisco Intersight Essentialstraining teaches you various aspects of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), including hardware, connectivity, and management. You will learn Cisco Intersight characteristics, licensing, and features, along with insights into server profile deployment and prerequisites for installing operating systems from Cisco Intersight.
This training prepares you for configuring, managing, and monitoring your network, computing, and storage assets. You will gain experience using features, such as Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO), Cisco Intersight Cloud Orchestrator (ICO), and Cisco Intersight Virtualization Services (IVS). Also, you will become familiar with the Cisco Intersight Application Programming Interface (API) by using HashiCorp Terraform to automate Cisco Intersight configuration.
This course is worth 11 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
