What you'll learn

Virtualized environments are often deployed without a clear understanding of how they handle failures, recovery, and security, leading to unexpected downtime and reactive troubleshooting. In this course, High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Virtualization Security, you’ll gain the ability to understand and apply resilience and protection strategies in virtualized systems. First, you’ll explore how high availability and live migration function and how they are configured in multi-host environments. Next, you’ll discover how to design disaster recovery strategies using concepts like RPO, RTO, backups, and replication. Finally, you’ll learn how to identify risks in virtualized infrastructure and apply security best practices to protect workloads. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of virtualization resilience and security needed to support reliable and secure virtualized environments.
