vSphere 7 Webcast Series

Getting to Know vSphere 7 Webcast Series

In this VMUG webcast series, we will be covering the updates included in vSphere 7. vSphere is the hypervisor of choice to deploy and run modern applications.

It All Begins with vSphere and Continues with You.

These webcasts will offer cutting-edge content straight from VMware, and cover can’t-miss vSphere topics like managing modern apps on hybrid cloud, deploying Kubernetes clusters, lifecycle management, security, and starting your AI/ML journey with vSphere and Bitfusion.

Join the conversation today and register for the five parts of this webcast series.

The New vSphere - Essential Services for the Modern Hybrid Cloud

Wed, Apr 1, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

VMware vSphere is bringing new innovations and capabilities to run and manage modern applications with native Kubernetes, simplify lifecycle management, strengthen intrinsic security and drive enhanced performance and resiliency for all business-critical workloads. vSphere delivers the essential services for the modern hybrid cloud. Join this session to learn how you can simplify your hybrid cloud and amplify your career with vSphere 7.

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes: Modern Infrastructure for Modern Applications

Mon, Apr 6, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

VMware vSphere 7 has been rearchitected with native Kubernetes, to massively change the game when it comes to building and running modern applications for the enterprise. With the latest innovations in vSphere 7, IT will be able to support Kubernetes leveraging existing investments in resources and skillsets, and ensure governance and security while providing Developers self-service access to resources from the hybrid cloud. This session will provide a technical overview of vSphere with Kubernetes, and cover the new user experience and use cases.

Simplifying Operations with vSphere Lifecycle Manager

Mon, Apr 27, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

vSphere 7 comes with many enhancements for lifecycle management and implementing consistency across ESXi hosts and vCenter Server instances. This talk covers how to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager for declarative ESXi cluster management. Using vSphere Lifecycle Manager allows you to integrate vSphere with selected hardware vendors to push out full-stack firmware updates. Learn how to use the simplified image creator to include vendor components and additional drivers. This session also details how to manage vCenter Server configurations and updates for desired state consistency.

Intrinsic Security: How vSphere 7 Helps Us Keep Workloads Safe

Mon, May 4, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

When VMware talks about security and compliance we often talk about “intrinsic security,” or the idea that security is baked into the products, rather than something sprinkled on afterwards. Intrinsic security is a goal, a feature, and an attitude, and vSphere 7 represents the best of it at the core of data center infrastructure. Using the “CIA Triad” that is familiar to information security professionals, we’ll translate the new features and improvements into the security and compliance benefits for your workloads..

Running Elastic Infrastructure for AI and ML Workloads with vSphere and Bitfusion

Mon, May 11, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

Hardware acceleration is used extensively for machine-learning and artificial intelligence. Virtualization is needed for this hardware acceleration to solve issues with low utilization, and difficulties with silos and management. The Bitfusion technology will be presented that enables remote GPU access, fractional GPU access, analytics and manageability. These capabilities will be demonstrated as well. Bitfusion was acquired in August 2019, to extend VMware’s vision, “Any app, any device, any cloud”, to hardware acceleration.
