Machine Learning Engineer
Through lab-based activities, you will be placed in real-life situations of a fictional company, VMBeans. These situations will familiarize you with real-life scenarios that companies face when building and scaling their virtual infrastructure.
This course utilizes scenario-based lab exercises and does not provide guided step-by-step instructions. To complete the scenario-based lab exercises, you must analyze the problem, research and derive the required solution. References and documentation suggestions are provided. In this course, you will learn how to effectively navigate and manage vSphere through exercises.
