Learning VMware Workstation for Windows

Learning VMware Workstation for Windows: Implementing and Managing VMware’s Desktop Hypervisor Solution

VMware Workstation aims to create and run virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters simultaneously on physical devices without the need for reformatting or using dual boot. The VMware Workstation Learning Book for Windows provides a practical, step-by-step guide to creating and managing virtual machines using VMware Workstation. VMware Workstation is a Type 2 hypervisor or desktop hypervisor that runs on Windows x64 and Linux-based operating systems. This book focuses on the Windows version.

The book begins with an overview of Desktop Hypervisors and Hypervisors. It then looks at resources such as CPU, memory, and networking, and how they are configured in a virtual environment. In the final chapters, you’ll learn how to configure Workstation Pro to run and manage virtual machines before building sample virtual machines, including how to build a nested vSphere environment. Once built, you’ll see how to manage these virtual machines before finally upgrading your VMware Workstation Pro environment. Finally, you’ll learn how to build and manage different virtual machines running on different operating systems and build an ESXi lab environment with VMware Workstation.
