VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Training
VMware Cloud Foundation: Build, Manage & Secure [V9.0] is a five-day live online course for professionals responsible for private cloud infrastructure. Develop a connected view of VCF architecture, deployment, workload domains, storage, networking, security and lifecycle management so you can relate platform components to everyday administration.
Why take this course?
A private cloud combines multiple technologies that must be managed together. This course helps you understand how compute, storage, networking, identity and certificates fit within a VCF deployment. Connect configuration choices with operational availability, security and maintenance rather than treating each component as an isolated task.
Course curriculum
1. VCF architecture and use cases
Describe the private cloud model, its integrated components and the infrastructure requirements it addresses.
2. Deployment planning
Review the information and dependencies needed to prepare and deploy private cloud infrastructure.
3. Core infrastructure and fleet management
Explore the administration of core components and the management of the broader VCF environment.
4. Licensing and identity
Review licensing, identity sources and administrative access as part of platform operations.
5. Workload domains
Examine domain configuration and administration, including their relationship to compute, storage and networking resources.
6. Storage and vSAN operations
Review storage management and vSAN considerations within private cloud infrastructure.
7. Virtual networking and connectivity
Explain how networking supports management services and workload connectivity across the environment.
8. Certificates and lifecycle management
Connect certificate administration, maintenance and infrastructure lifecycle workflows.
9. Security and compliance capabilities
Review integrated platform security, access management and operational controls.
10. Upgrade scenarios
Examine upgrade-path considerations and the dependencies that affect platform maintenance.
Technical learning objectives
By the end of the course, you will be better prepared to:
- Explain VCF 9.0 architecture, components and private cloud use cases.

- Consultants and architects planning VCF deployments and management practices.
- Technical support professionals who need a broader view of platform operations.
Prerequisites
Working experience with VMware vSphere, NSX and vSAN is recommended for the technical scope of this course. Familiarity with virtualization, networking and storage administration will help you connect the platform components. Ask Fidelis to review any applicable foundational learning requirements before enrollment; a specific mandatory learning-path stage has not been independently verified.
Certification and exam planning
Use this course to develop VMware Cloud Foundation deployment and administration skills. For certification planning, compare your target role with Broadcom’s current VMware certification directory and the applicable exam objectives. Course completion is not certification, and no exam eligibility or current exam-code mapping is promised.
