VMware Certified Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator (2V0-17.25)

This VMware Cloud Foundation training program prepares you for the VCP-VCF Administrator certification exam and real-world private cloud deployments.

So what is VMware Cloud Foundation exactly? VMware Cloud Foundation is the unified private cloud platform that brings together vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and management tools into a single integrated solution. It delivers the scale and agility of public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises infrastructure.

VMware Cloud Foundation 9 is the latest version, introducing new architecture concepts like VCF Fleet, VCF Instances, and VCF Domains. The platform includes vSphere 9, NSX 9, vSAN, VCF Operations, and VCF Automation. Understanding these components and how they work together is essential for any cloud administrator.

Wondering about VMware Cloud Foundation pricing? Under Broadcom’s new licensing model, VCF uses per-core subscription pricing at around $350 per core per year. The VMware Cloud Foundation licensing includes vSphere, vSAN, NSX, and management tools in a single bundle. This is a significant change from the old perpetual licensing model.

Our VMware Cloud Foundation course follows the official VCP-VCF Administrator exam blueprint. But we go beyond exam topics. We show you how to deploy and manage real production environments. The kind of knowledge that makes you valuable to employers.

What makes this VMware Cloud Foundation training different? Live instruction from working VCF engineers. Not pre-recorded videos from years ago. Real experts answering your questions in real-time. Stuck on a workload domain deployment? Ask during class. Confused about vSAN storage policies? Your instructor walks you through it.

The VCP-VCF Administrator exam covers four major domains: VMware Cloud Foundation Fundamentals, Deploy and Configure VCF, Manage VCF, and VCF Operations and Automation. Our training covers each domain with hands-on labs that mirror real exam scenarios.

VMware Cloud Foundation 5 and VMware Cloud Foundation 9 are both supported versions. This course focuses on VCF 9 features while covering the core concepts applicable to both versions. You will learn the architecture changes and new features introduced in each release.

Unlike pre-recorded courses, our live sessions let you interact with instructors and other students. This collaborative environment accelerates learning and helps you understand complex topics faster.
