VMware Cloud Foundation: Automate and Operate [V9.0] – FT

Course Description

VMware Cloud Foundation: Automate and Operate [V9.0] – FT focuses on designing and operating VCF Automation overview, provider and consumer roles, organizations, projects, Images, flavors, networks. Participants learn how VMware components interact and how to detect weak assumptions before they become production incidents.

Advanced activities address Event broker, subscriptions, workflows, custom actions, Operational dashboards, deployment health, logs. Through focused tenancy configuration and access-validation record, catalog service deployment and approval audit trail, extensibility workflow test and rollback proof, automation service dashboard and ownership runbook, learners validate resilience, security, observability, recoverability, and readiness for support.

Participants leave prepared to deliver a focused VCF automation capability that delivers policy-controlled catalog services, repeatable deployment workflows, extensible day-two operations, and operational accountability. Their closing plan converts test findings into practical actions for governance, monitoring, remediation, and future releases.

What You Will Learn

• Explain how VCF Automation overview, provider and consumer roles, and organizations establish the technical foundation and influence later design decisions.
• Configure projects, cloud zones, identity, service access, tenancy, quotas, and governance, then confirm readiness through focused tenancy configuration and access-validation record instead of relying on completion messages alone.
• Execute a controlled workflow covering Images, flavors, and networks, preserving prerequisites, changes, and resulting service behavior.
• Read catalog service deployment and approval audit trail to isolate an approval policy not triggering because the deployment property is mis-scoped, separate symptoms from causes, and choose a correction that can be safely retested.
• Integrate Event broker, subscriptions, and workflows with access, capacity, resilience, and downstream operational expectations.
• Challenge custom actions, APIs, source control, secrets, error handling, version promotion, and rollback using normal and boundary cases, then defend the outcome with extensibility workflow test and rollback proof.
• Investigate a deployment failure being closed without removing partially created infrastructure by reviewing Operational dashboards, deployment health, and logs before applying a reversible fix.
• Prepare automation service dashboard and ownership runbook that demonstrates alerts, cost awareness, capacity, support ownership, failure recovery, and service improvement and supports handover, monitoring, governance, and the next improvement decision.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

Instruction includes architecture walkthroughs, practical setup, workflow execution, troubleshooting scenarios, validation evidence, support planning, and a final improvement roadmap. Particular attention is given to safe change, resilience, observability, and accountable ownership.
