VCP VMware Cloud Foundation Architect 2025 (2V0-13.25) EXAM

About this course

This course trains architects and senior engineers to design, validate and operate enterprise-grade VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solutions. Students learn to translate business requirements into documented VCF logical and physical designs, make trade-offs using AMPRS (Availability, Manageability, Performance, Recoverability, Security), build automation and lifecycle strategies, and validate designs with monitoring, BCDR and performance practices. The course is both conceptual and hands-on — every design topic includes practical lab exercises and real-world decision scenarios.Who should attendCloud architects, SDDC architects, senior systems engineersPlatform/SRE leaders designing VCF-based private clouds or service provider fleetsCandidates preparing for the VMware VCP-VCF Architect exam (2V0-13.25)Technical leads responsible for migration, automation, and lifecycle planningPrerequisitesMust-have:Hands-on VMware vSphere experience (vCenter, ESXi, VM lifecycle, HA basics)Data center fundamentals (networking, storage, compute)Comfortable with Linux shell and basic scriptingRecommended:Familiarity with vSAN, NSX fundamentals, SDDC Manager, Kubernetes basics, IaC (Terraform/Ansible), and monitoring conceptsCourse learning outcomes (what learners will be able to do)After completing this course learners will be able to:Design VCF architectures — map business & technical requirements into logical and physical designs.Apply AMPRS trade-offs to satisfy SLAs and operational constraints.Build lifecycle and automation strategies using VCF Operations (blueprints, BOMs, fleet workflows).Create and validate BCDR/DR plans for management and workload domains.Specify security controls (identity, secrets, NSX micro-segmentation, encryption, audit).<
