Om kurset

This five-day course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in design, configuration, and operational management of VMware vSphere® Kubernetes Service (VKS) within VMware Cloud Foundation® (VCF) environments.

You will learn vSphere Supervisor deployment models, storage topologies, and namespace architecture while gaining expertise in VKS cluster lifecycle management, workload deployment, and day-2 operations.

The course covers vSphere Supervisor enablement options, VM Service deployment models, services architecture, and monitoring strategies. You will learn VKS cluster provisioning using kubectl, as well as workload deployment using YAML manifest files and Helm.
Through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios, you will develop practical expertise in designing scalable Kubernetes infrastructure on VCF, operating VKS clusters, and building extensible cloud-native ecosystems for enterprise workload consumption.
