What you'll learn

The age-old practice of installing applications just doesn't scale with the needs of a VDI environment. Even automating the process with traditional application delivery tools doesn't solve the problem well. VMware App Volumes is a simple, but remarkable, solution for virtualizing apps into VMDK virtual disks and quite literally attaching them to virtual machines. In this course, VMware Horizon 7: Configure and Manage App Volumes, you'll explore App Volumes' almost-uninterestingly simple installation. First, you'll package up a set of applications into VMDK virtual disks that can be assigned to any VM to which a user connects. Next, you'll see how writeable disks are layered over the top to maintain the capture of user settings. Finally, you'll discover how to package up a couple of apps. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to package and just-in-time deliver all manner of apps into your VMs right as their users login.
