Explore the fundamental architecture of vSAN, learn how to create and scale clusters, and understand how vSAN integrates with policies, encryption, high availability, and fault domains.

Follow along with detailed demos that walk through real-world configurations—from network setup and cluster creation to failure testing and maintenance tasks. Whether you're preparing for a certification or working toward becoming proficient with vSAN in production environments, this course helps you build a strong foundation of essentials.
