Hands-on Lab Guide VMworld 2015 US
Introduction Listed below are the Hands-on Labs that will be available at VMworld 2015 US in San Francisco. The labs are divided into four focus areas, Software Defined Datacenter Labs, Hybrid Cloud Labs, Mobility Labs, and Partner Solution Labs. Under each lab, you will find several modules available for you to test drive a VMware product. Key to deciphering the Lab Module table: # This is the Module number Title Time Level 15 or 30 45 or 60 (B)eginning (A)dvanced The title of the Module This is the estimated time in minutes to complete this Module Lightning Lab - that are 15 or 30 minutes in duration Full Length Lab - that are 45 or 60 minutes in duration These Modules are designed to introduce you to a product or solution These Modules cover more Advanced topics Type (F)eature Modules (U)se Case Modules These are focused on the features of a single product. These are narrative Modules that demonstrate the interaction between multiple products in a hypothetical scenario. Modules are independent of another and can be completed in any order Modules with an estimated time of 15 or 30 minutes are classified as Lightning Labs.
