Visão Geral
O curso Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration (ECA) é voltado para profissionais que já possuem experiência prévia na administração de ambientes Nutanix e desejam aprofundar, ampliar e consolidar seus conhecimentos para atuar em ambientes corporativos de nuvem privada e multicloud.
O treinamento é fortemente focado no Prism Central, apresentando de forma detalhada os recursos de gerenciamento centralizado da plataforma Nutanix. Ao longo do curso, os participantes exploram conceitos essenciais de infraestrutura hiperconvergente (HCI), gerenciamento avançado de máquinas virtuais, monitoramento, solução de problemas, segurança, proteção de dados, migração de workloads, manutenção e atualizações de clusters.
O curso prepara o aluno para administrar ambientes Nutanix de forma eficiente, segura e escalável, além de fornecer uma base sólida para a certificação Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCP-MCI).
Se você já possui experiência na administração de um ambiente Nutanix, este curso ampliará, aprofundará e expandirá seus conhecimentos à medida que você cresce em sua carreira como administrador Nutanix.
Em Administração de Nuvem Empresarial (ECA) da Nutanix, você se concentrará no Prism Central. Este curso oferece uma visão abrangente dos recursos de gerenciamento centralizado da Nutanix e permite explorar a ampla variedade de funcionalidades disponíveis neste console web.
A ECA abrange quatro áreas principais:
- Conceitos Essenciais do Nutanix: Obtenha um conhecimento profundo de infraestrutura hiperconvergente (HCI) e dos diversos pacotes de soluções em nuvem da Nutanix. Aprenda os fundamentos da configuração de clusters e os componentes para criação e gerenciamento de máquinas virtuais (VMs) – ou seja, redes e imagens.
- Gerenciamento de VMs: Descubra como criar e gerenciar VMs, trabalhar com projetos, proteger VMs e seus dados, aplicar recursos de otimização de armazenamento no nível da VM e migrar suas cargas de trabalho para um ambiente Nutanix.
- Monitoramento e solução de problemas: Saiba mais sobre alertas, eventos, coleta de logs, geração de relatórios e como usar vários recursos do Prism Central para identificar, analisar e solucionar problemas de desempenho.
- Manutenção e atualizações: Aprenda como configurar um cluster para atividades de manutenção – como iniciar e parar nós e clusters – e como atualizar o software e o firmware instalados com apenas alguns cliques.
