Virtualization
Preparing HVM Hosts
Getting HVM hosts ready for their first cluster: the Ubuntu 24.04 build, netplan bonds and VLANs, the jumbo-frame floor, raw disks, and the pre-flight checks.

vSphere at Scale: Multiple vCenters, Images and Plans
Running many vCenters on one Morpheus appliance: scoping, the image constraint that surprises everyone, service plans across clouds, and resource visibility.
Observability

Building the VM Essentials Lab
A VM Essentials lab you can actually build: nested or physical, the minimum viable HVM cluster, and which shortcuts teach you the wrong lessons.
Cloud Management
Users and Roles in Practice
Building the two-axis Role model for real: Group-access Roles, feature-access Roles, Tenant Roles as ceilings, and the permissions to restrict on day one.
Data Protection
Building Your First VPG
The Zerto VPG wizard end to end: grouping VMs that recover together, boot order, journal history against a real RPO, and a failover test that proves something.
