The What's New in VMware Cloud Foundation v9.1 Training is a five-day technical course providing an in-depth examination of the new features, architectural changes, and improvements introduced in VMware Cloud Foundation v9.1.

The course is designed for professionals working with VMware Cloud Foundation who want to understand the latest platform capabilities and evaluate their use in new or existing infrastructure environments.

Participants explore updates across infrastructure preparation, deployment, compute, storage, networking, automation, and operations. The programme develops the knowledge required to assess architectural choices and implement VCF v9.1 environments.

Infrastructure-focused modules cover VCF Installer enhancements, vSphere and vCenter improvements, vSAN ESA Auto-RAID, stretched cluster updates, and transit gateway capabilities. The course also examines fleet management, identity and access improvements, and available upgrade pathways.

The automation and operations modules address developments in VCF Automation, VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS), and VCF Operations. Key topics include multi-supervisor regions, organization quotas, modern workload management, monitoring, diagnostics, and operational visibility.

Combining instructor-led explanations with hands-on lab exercises, the course helps participants understand how VCF v9.1 enhancements can be applied to infrastructure architecture and implementation.
