For the Engineer with a solid understanding of the fundamental aspects of Microsoft Hyper-V, this Learning Path will start to dive deeper into the configuration and management of Hyper-V.

Hyper-V: Microsoft's Virtualization Platform Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization tool from Microsoft that allows users to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on a single system. It helps optimize resource use, run legacy software, test applications across multiple platforms, and improve IT efficiency with features like isolated environments for enhanced security. Available on Windows and Windows Server, Hyper-V supports Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD as guest operating systems. It offers key benefits like better resource management and security, but has limitations with hardware-dependent or latency-sensitive applications. Overall, Hyper-V is a powerful solution for efficient, scalable virtualization.

This learning path will guide a Linux administrator on various virtualization implementations and management options available today. They will learn about virtualization architectures and tools available for Red Hat Enterprise and Debian Linux. We also have a lab that guides the user on creating a virtual machine from the CLI and a web application.

The life of a VMware Virtualization Engineer requires a fundamental understanding of various hardware, software, operating systems and virtualization concepts. This Learning Path is designed to provide exposure to those foundational concepts so that upon completion the participant has the essential skills to understanding how VMware Virtualization works.
