HOL-1801-02-CMP - vRealize Suite Standard - Automated and Proactive Management

This week I've been looking the VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [6.5] course

In one of the modules we discuss Predictive DRS

There's no lab for this functionality, but VMware have created a Hands on Lab bit of functionality.

HOL-1801-02-CMP - vRealize Suite Standard - Automated and Proactive Management which is available on their HOL website available at the following link:

Hands on Labs site

Here's the description from the lab.

"vRealize Operations works in conjunction with vSphere to automatically balance workloads between hosts both within and across clusters to alleviate existing or predicted resource contention."

The lab is broken down into the following 2 modules

  1. Module 1 - Automated workload placement and predictive DRS
  2. Module 2 -Automated remediation of issues

The lab takes approximately 90 minutes, definitely worth a look if you're interested in the Predictive DRS feature.
