What You'll Learn

ECA covers four key areas:

  1. Core Nutanix Concepts: Gain a deep understanding of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and the various Nutanix cloud solution packages. Learn the basics of cluster configuration and the components for creating and managing VMs – namely, networks and images.
  2. VM Management: Explore how to create and manage VMs, work with projects, protect VMs and their data, apply storage optimization features at the VM level, and migrate your workloads to a Nutanix environment.
  3. Monitoring and Troubleshooting: Learn about alerts, events, log collection, reporting, and how to use various features in Prism Central to identify, analyze and remediate performance issues.
  4. Maintenance and Upgrades: Learn how to set up a cluster for maintenance activities – such as starting and stopping nodes and clusters – and how to upgrade installed software and firmware with just a few clicks. 4. Learn how to set up a cluster for maintenance activities – such as starting and stopping nodes and clusters – and how to manage and upgrade licenses and installed software with just a few clicks.
