Monitoring performance in the cloud requires special skills, there are many factors that influence the performance of a virtual machine running in the cloud. The most important part of solving performance problems is the right interpretation of the observed metrics. Everyone knows that a high CPU Ready value is an indicator of an CPU problem. But how high can or may it be? Is host CPU saturation the only cause of high CPU Ready values? This session will show you how to observe symptoms using vCenter Operations, track down the performance problem, find the root cause, bring the you guidelines for resource allocation settings and interpret the metrics and their best practise values.
This session is an Introduction to WaveMaker. WaveMaker is a visual development tool that lets everyone quickly build and deploy great-looking web and cloud applications. With WaveMaker, you can build a complete, 3-tier web application in minutes!
Monitoring performance requires special skills, there are many factors that influence the performance of a virtual machine. The most important part of solving performance problems is the right interpretation of the observed vSphere Client and ESXTop metrics. Everyone knows that a high CPU Ready value is an indicator of an CPU problem. But how high can or may it be? Is host CPU saturation the only cause of high CPU Ready values? This session will show you how to observe symptoms using ESXTop and the vSphere Client, track down the performance problem, find the root cause and interpret the metrics and their best practise values the right way. If you have wondered about best practice values regarding Ready-Time, Storage Latency, Ballooning and swapping, this session will bring you the answers and insight into the technology and components behind these important metrics.
After achieving your VCP certification you might want to take it a step further and go for the VMware Advanced Professional Datacenter Administrator certification. While reading through the blueprint a lot of people feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of skills you must have. In this session you will learn how to prepare for a successful completion of the VCAP-DCA exam and you will get some tips and tricks which can be useful while taking the exam.
Some things never change, or do they? vSphere is getting new and improved features with every release. These features change the characteristics and performance of the virtual machines. If you are not up to speed, you will probably manage your environment based on old and inaccurate information. The vMythbusters have collected a series of interesting hot topics that we have seen widely discussed in virtualization communities, on blogs and on Twitter. We’ve put these topics to the test in our lab to determine if they are a myth or not.
