In this course, you'll examine the key aspects of virtual machine management, including a review of some of the settings that are useful for optimizing your VMs. You'll compare templates and cloning, examining when each would be the right choice to use to deploy VMs. You'll learn how to use cloning to create a copy of a VM and how to use a template to deploy a VM. Finally, you'll explore use cases for content libraries and how to use a template from the library to deploy a VM into your production data center. This course is one in a series that helps prepare learners for the VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2021 (VCP-DCV 2021) exam.
