VMware vSphere 6.5 (VCP6.5-DCV) with 6.7 Updates

July 2017 with Keith Barker

Note: The exam associated with this course was retired August 30, 2019. However, this course still retains value as a training resource.

This VMware training course with Keith Barker and Jacob Moran prepares learners to configure and maintain highly available and scalable virtual infrastructures using vSphere 6.5 and 6.7. If you’re new to vSphere or would like to earn a Certificate of Completion, you’ll benefit from working through this course from the beginning. If you’re looking to learn about 6.5 or prepare for VMware’s VCP-DCV certification exam, you can focus on Nuggets not marked 6.7.

With the use of hands-on virtual labs, you can practice while you learn about vCenter Server, high availability, fault tolerance, optimization, security, and much more.
