The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Administration program covers all the tasks that Nutanix administrators perform at work. Beginning with setting up the environment, it walks the participant through the process of configuring and maintaining that environment. After introducing the basic concepts of the Enterprise Cloud Platform, participants will understand how to rack a Nutanix block, install and configure a cluster, and use different interfaces to manage a cluster. The program then delves into the details of managing VMs in Acropolis, monitoring cluster health and performance, protecting data and optimizing cluster capacity, performing in-place hypervisor conversion. Various failure scenarios in data centers are presented and participants will learn how to implement strategies to safeguard their data. Participants will also understand how to use the Nutanix's Prism interface to monitor and manage multiple activities across clusters, review and analyze resource needs, and assess future resource requirements. The program also covers basic Nutanix troubleshooting tools, including how to solve common problems and when to escalate to Nutanix support. Participants will learn essential lifecycle operations, covering starting and stopping a cluster, shutting down nodes, expanding a cluster, upgrading the Acropolis software and firmware, and maintaining licensing.
