VMware has put online a free training for VMware vSphere 6.5. It's a VMware vSphere 6.5 Free Training where you'll discover 8 Lessons. VMware vSphere 6.5 What's New Fundamentals is packed with all the information about vSphere 6.5, what's new, what's changed etc. As being said, there are eight lessons to follow and the training is 1.5 hours long.

You can register for the training and immediately you'll get an access (note you'll have to enable Pop-ups for this domain), a new window will pop-up where the Adobe UI is executed.

The last chapter gives details about VMware Integrated containers (VIC). True that we haven't covered much about this topic on our blog. It's because most SMBs and very tiny SMBs don't have much interest in VIC. But it's good to know that it's beeing covered. You'll learn about vSphere Integrated Containers Operating Model

You'll learn about vSphere Integrated Containers Operating Model, the administration, user experience. Find out about Harbour (the private container registry) or Admiral (container management portal and container provisioning for templates). vSphere admin can monitor containers similar way as with traditional VMs.
