Course Description

In this challenge, you will manage virtual machine snapshots in your vSphere environment. First, you will create a snapshot of a running virtual machine that includes the virtual machine’s memory, and then you will create a snapshot of a running virtual machine that does not include the virtual machine’s memory. Next, you will modify the hardware on a virtual machine by using a snapshot. Finally, you will manage multiple snapshots on a single virtual machine, and then you will delete a snapshot. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your progress. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
