Proxmox VE — from the first node to a hyperconverged cluster
As proprietary licensing costs rise, Proxmox VE has established itself as the leading open source virtualization platform: virtual machines and containers brought together in a single interface. This course covers the entire lifecycle, from installing the first node to a highly available cluster, with an end-to-end iSCSI SAN deployment and integrated Ceph storage.
ECI-VIR-02
Nutanix AHV and Prism — administering a hyperconverged infrastructure
Nutanix brings compute, storage and virtualization together in a single software-driven building block. This course covers the day-to-day operation of a cluster running the AHV hypervisor, its distributed storage layer and the centralized management consoles.
ECI-VIR-03
KVM, QEMU and libvirt — Linux virtualization from the ground up
KVM is the Linux kernel virtualization engine underpinning OpenStack, Proxmox VE and virtually every open source cloud. Understanding KVM, QEMU and libvirt means acquiring the key to reading all of these platforms, and the ability to diagnose what graphical interfaces hide.
ECI-VIR-04
Hyper-V administration and Windows failover clustering
A Hyper-V cluster is more than a place to host virtual machines: quorum, witness volumes, live migration and the backup chain form a whole in which a single misconfiguration can bring production to a halt. This course covers the full operation of a clustered Hyper-V environment, with particular attention to log-based diagnostics.
