Preface

The vSphere Suite is the latest iteration of VMware’s enterprise-class virtualization products. It introduces a large number of new features that help to further leverage virtualization in production Datacenters. The VMware VCP410 exam tests your ability to install, configure, and manage a full-scale vSphere environment. This book will help you to prepare for the exam and to understand how you can better leverage vSphere in your production environment.

The objective of this study guide is to prepare you for the VCP410 exam by familiarizing you with the technology or body of knowledge tested on the exam. This exam, combined with the official VMware course, will allow you to achieve the VCP certification. Because the primary focus of the book is to help you pass the test, we don’t always cover every aspect of the related technology. Some aspects of the technology are only covered to the extent necessary to help you understand what you need to know to pass the exam, but we hope this book will serve you as a valuable professional resource after your exam.
