Free training and book on ESXi?

· ·

I just wanted to point to this article on the ESXi Chronicles blog about a free training and free book on ESXi. I actually wrote an article about the book a while back and it is most definitely worth the effort of doing the training and survey!

You might wonder how much a person can write about ESXi, but Dave managed to fill up rough 490 pages. These pages contain solid and detailed information about the ESXi architecture but also for instance on how to implement or secure an ESXi environment. The book has 8 chapters which will take you through the installation and migration step by step but also will prepare you for operating ESXi based environments. On top of that Dave not only discusses the rCLI/vMA but also PowerCLI and it contains some really useful sample scripts.

You can find more details about the training and the book in this ESXi Chronicles article.

  1. The e-learning is unusable. Wrong slide timing, volume levels changing and two voices speaking one over the other (module 3, demo slide 11).

  2. Completed the free training this morning and completed the survey as well so I can get Dave’s book!!

  3. I agree with Tomas Fotja. It is very annoying listening to this course. The audio for module one actually hurt my ears. About every sentence is cut short.

    I sat through it though…but it wasn’t easy.

  4. I agree with Tom and Arjen … Some of the modules cut the sentences short. The installing ESXi module made a 4 minute presentation seem like a 4 hour fugue.

    The information was top notch, I was able to read along with the narrator and was able to determine what he was trying to say. I also put the installing ESX module in CC mode so I could read along.

    Re-record this and you will have great reviews. Hope this helps.
