In this lab environment, you will walk through deploying your own OpenShift 4.11 cluster on vSphere. The deployment method walked through uses the 'Installer-Provisioned Infrastructure' method. Once deployed, use some of our linked use cases or carve your path to experience what OpenShift offers.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, managing complex network environments has become a necessity for organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure. VMware, a pioneer in virtualization technologies, offers a powerful solution: the vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). This advanced networking tool enables seamless management of networking configurations across multiple hosts, streamlining network administration and improving performance. One of the key features of vDS is the ability to create Distributed Port Groups (DPG), which provide a consistent network configuration across multiple hosts within a data center. In this lab, we will take a deep dive into the world of VMware Distributed Switches, guiding you step-by-step on how to create and configure Distributed Port Groups.

Lab users are provided a dedicated nested VMware environment to use as for an intro to VMware's server virtualization products, ESXi and Virtual Center.

This lab presents the user with a virtual environment with issues that need fixing. The user will troubleshoot a problem logging into vCenter, troubleshoot an issue trying to SSH into an ESXi host and troubleshoot a network issue on an Ubuntu virtual machine.

In this lab, you will walk through an on‑premises solution for serving your private cloud AI system using VMware Private AI. Building on the foundational components of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), VMware Private AI leverages Tanzu Kubernetes to deliver a streamlined, enterprise‑ready platform. This solution is designed to help you accelerate your AI journey by enabling scalable, secure, and efficient deployment of AI workloads within your private cloud environment.
