Explore virtualization basics with VMware, gain conceptual understanding and hands-on experience by installing the VMware ESXi hypervisor, creating virtual machines, and running virtualization tasks.
Section1 = Handouts
Explore virtualization terminology such as bare metal servers, hypervisors, and virtual machines. Understand physical to virtual, vdi, vm template, snapshots, cloning, and tools like vCenter and Oracle Virtual Manager.
Reduce costs, cut real estate and electricity needs, and automate provisioning through virtualization. Enhance management, enable redundancy and faster deployment, improve resource scaling with snapshots and simpler licensing.
Explore basic VMware products, including VMware workstation player, ESXi bare-metal hypervisor, vSphere web client, and vCenter, to manage multiple hypervisors and virtual machines from a single pane of glass.
Download and install VMware Workstation Player for Windows, Linux, or Mac OS, then follow the wizard to accept the license and complete setup for non-commercial use.
Access the ESXi server through a web browser by loading the vSphere HTML5 interface, using its IP address, and logging in with your credentials.
Access and verify a virtual machine environment using simple Linux commands like pwd and ls. Confirm your current directory, list files and directories, and ensure the system responds correctly.
