ECA is divided into four major sections:
- Understanding core Nutanix concepts, such as hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and the various Nutanix cloud solution packages. Also, the basic configuration of a cluster and the components that are needed to create and manage VMs namely, networks and images.
- Creating and managing VMs, how to protect VMs and their data, how to apply storage optimization features at the VM level, and how to migrate your workloads to a Nutanix environment.
- Learn about alerts, events, log collection, reporting, and how to use various features in Prism Central to identify, analyze, and remediate performance issues.
- 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.
