Preface

VMware vSphere provides a powerful, flexible, and secure foundation for next-generation applications to help you achieve an effective digital transformation efficiently.

Mastering VMware vSphere 6.7, Second Edition, begins by covering an overview of all the products, solutions, and features of the vSphere 6.7 suite, comparing 6.7 with previous releases. You'll learn how to design and plan a virtualization infrastructure to drive performance analysis and then proceed with workflows and the installation of components. Along with new network trends that will help you in optimally designing the vSphere environment, you will also learn the best practices involved in configuring and managing virtual machines in a vSphere infrastructure. With vSphere 6.7, you'll make use of more powerful capabilities for patching, upgrading, and managing the configuration of the virtual environment and focus on specific availability and resiliency solutions in vSphere. The concluding chapters of the book will provide information on how to save your configuration, data, and workload from your virtual infrastructure and teach you different approaches on how to build your own VMware vSphere lab to help you run even the most demanding workloads.

By the end of the book, you'll have learned about VMware vSphere 6.7, right from design to deployment and management.
