Overview of this book

This exam guide enables you to install, configure, and manage the vSphere 6.5 infrastructure in all its components: vCenter Server, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines, while helping you to prepare for the industry standard certification. This data center book will assist you in automating administration tasks and enhancing your environment’s capabilities. You will begin with an introduction to all aspects related to security, networking, and storage in vSphere 6.5. Next, you will learn about resource management and understand how to back up and restore the vSphere 6.5 infrastructure. As you advance, you will also cover troubleshooting, deployment, availability, and virtual machine management. This is followed by two mock tests that will test your knowledge and challenge your understanding of all the topics included in the exam. By the end of this book, you will not only have learned about virtualization and its techniques, but you’ll also be prepared to pass the VCP6.5-DCV (2V0-622) exam.

Who this book is for

The book is focused on the VCP6.5-DCV exam, covering all the required objectives outlined in the exam preparation guide.

For this reason, the expected readers for this book are vSphere administrators and IT architects who want to achieve the VCP6.5-DCV certification and have already gained some experience with the vSphere platform.

The book can also be used to learn more about the VMware vSphere 6.5 product, but this book does not provide a complete overview and is definitely not targeted at those who want to learn about the product from scratch.

For those wishing to start down a path toward the VMware certification for the first time, one requirement is to attend to an official course, which can provide the right information for those who are starting from scratch.
