Learning Path: Learn VMware VRealize Operations Manager from Scratch

Learn VMware VRealize Operations Manager from Scratch – managing the capacity and power requirements of virtual machines can be facilitated using the VMware vCenter CapacityIQ software. This software was released in the vCenter Operations Manager package from mid-2012, and then it was renamed to vRealize Operations Manager. vRealize Operations Manager makes it possible to allocate required and available resources to virtual machines, resource pools and data centers at the right time. You can predict possible problems in the future, dynamically model and control the need for changes in resources, as well as the use of free resources.

Description

Virtualization has touched every area of ​​IT infrastructure and operations. Are you looking at working with servers, storage, networking, and security? Or do you want to improve the reliability and maintainability of virtualized environments? If yes, then you must be skilled in the key virtualization platform. VMware vRealize Operations Manager is used to deliver intelligent operations management that will help you streamline your processes and customize the environment to suit your needs. You might find a lot of documentations for vROps, but like most other product documentations, these are generally very thin on the why aspect. For example, why should I enable some containers for capacity management and not others? Learn VMware VRealize Operation Manager from Scratch is a Learning Path that attempts to fill this gap and show you the positive impact this product can bring to an environment.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. This Learning Path starts by familiarizing you with the vROps UI. It explains both why and how vRealize Operations should be deployed, configured, and used in your environment. Then, you will learn how to create alerts based on environment-specific symptoms and how to manipulate metric data using super metrics. You will also see how and when to use groups and how you can deliver easy-to-consume data in your environment using the basic dashboard design. You will also see how to import custom data and work with relationships, finally, you will learn how to trigger events with notifications. By the end of the learning path, you will know how to analyze and optimize your IT environment.
