The life of a Systems 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 understand how Nutanix Virtualization works.

This learning path focuses on core Kubernetes concepts with an approach centered on infrastructure professionals. It covers the fundamentals and components of Kubernetes and its various forms, then provides hands-on lab environments to reinforce learning. The labs guide learners through traditional Kubernetes deployments, from initial installation through multi-node cluster operation, networking, storage, and application deployment, building a strong Kubernetes foundation across differing environments.

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.

For an Engineer who has a solid understanding of the fundamental aspects of VMware Virtualization, this Learning Path will start to dive deeper into some of the more detailed aspects of additional components that can exist in a typical environment.

A server is a crucial piece of hardware in every organization's data center. Its primary role is to support the success of an organization's web-tier, mid-tier, database, and AI application stack from a networking, processing, and storage standpoint regardless if the application is deployed within a natively installed operating system, in a virtual machine, or as a cloud-native or edge-native application. The server components that make up this hardware system can vary depending on the specific needs and requirements of the organization. The main components commonly found in a server include CPU (central processing unit), Memory, Network Interface Cards, Storage Devices, and in some cases accelerators like DPUs (data processing unit) and GPUs (graphical processing unit). In this Learning Path engineers can learn about the latest solutions on the market today that they can integrate into their solutions to help drive their business forward most effectively and efficiently.

For an Engineer who has a solid understanding of the intermediate aspects of VMware Virtualization, this Learning Path will dive deeper into some of the more detailed aspects of additional components that can exist in a typical environment.

For the Engineer with a solid understanding of Microsoft SCCM, this Learning Path will dive deeper into the management of endpoints utilizing SCCM.

This learning path provides a foundational understanding of container technology tailored for infrastructure professionals. Through a series of curated articles, learners will explore the architecture of containers, their role in modern infrastructure, and the responsibilities of infrastructure engineers in designing scalable, container-ready environments. The hands-on lab component offers real-time access to an environment to install Docker, grow Docker skills, and build and manage containerized applications. By the end of this path, participants will gain practical experience and conceptual clarity on how containers fit into today's infrastructure landscape—preparing them to support agile, cloud-native deployments.
