Course Overview
During this 3-day course, you focus on deploying and managing VMware vSphere® with Tanzu. You learn about how vSphere with Tanzu can be used to orchestrate the delivery of Kubernetes clusters and containerized applications in a vSphere environment.
Who Should Attend
Experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for designing and implementing vSphere with Kubernetes.
