Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Eric Shanks and welcome to my course, Getting Started with vRealize Automation 7. I'm a senior solutions architect at AHEAD and these days you can't walk down the street without hearing about cloud computing. This course will teach you how to use a popular cloud management platform from VMware to deploy your own workloads from a self-service portal and give other users power to get their jobs done more quickly. Some of the major topics that we will cover include the components that will make up vRealize Automation 7. How to install and configure vRA, setting up the infrastructure to be used by your cloud management platform, and creating and requesting blueprints from the service catalog. By the end of this course you'll know how to perform an installation, configure authentication methods for the platform, create blueprints, manage entitlements, and set up approvals. Before beginning this course you should be familiar with VMware vSphere and general i8c operations topics like Active Directory or DNS. From here you should feel comfortable diving into automation orchestration with courses on vRO, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. I hope you will join me on this journey to learn vRA with the Getting Started with vRealize Automation 7 course at Pluralsight.
