Description

This book will enable you to deliver on the operational disciplines of Performance, Health, Capacity, Configuration, and Compliance by making the best use of solutions provided by vRealize Operations. Starting with architecture, design, and sizing, we will ensure your implementation of vRealize Operations is a success. We will dive into the utilization of a solution to manage your vSphere infrastructure. Then, we will employ out-of-the-box Dashboards and the very powerful Views and Reporting functionality of vRealize Operations to create your custom dashboards and address your reporting requirements. Next, we go through the Alerting framework and how Symptoms, Recommendations, and Actions are used to achieve efficient operations. Later you will master the topic of Capacity Planning, where we look at how important it is to craft appropriate policies to match your requirements, and we’ll consider attitude toward capacity risk, which will aid you to build future project requirements into your capacity plans. Finally, we will look at extending the solution to manage Storage, Applications, and other IT infrastructures using Management Packs from Solution Exchange, as well as how the solution can be enhanced with the integration of Log Insight.

[Disclosure: I am a Technical Reviewer on this book]“VMware vRealize Operations Essentials” is an excellent reference. It is loaded with step-by-step details for making the most of vROps. Matthew does a great job of not only clearly articulating the steps required to complete a task, but also the “how” and “why”. This is important to me as I want to know what effect each step will have on the overall solution.I really appreciated that the book includes in-depth information on vROPs in addition to its integration with vRealize Log Insight and several management packs. The book is written in a well-structured and logical way that takes you from installation and configuration to advanced administration, custom views and finally through a variety of integration options. It’s a good book for any vROps administrator to have; to not only get started but also to reference as their experience grows.

As a VMware partner consultant who specializes in VMware products, particularly vROps and has deployed it at many customer sites, I found this book, based on version 6.1 of the product, to be probably the best material on the subject at present. The author provides a good outline of most all of the functionality within the product, most notably content on Infrastructure Navigator, Log Insight, upgrades (from 6.0 to 6.1), and the previous Hyperic functionality now called Endpoint Operations. Several of these are written about in a comprehensive way for the first time in this book complete with screenshots that show installation all the way through integration with vROps. This book is also much more competently reviewed and edited than most other titles I have read from Packt. The other titles from Packt on this product are good as well, but this book by Mr. Steiner is very comprehensive of the entire suite and shows users how to maximize the value of these products by illustrating their points of integration. Anyone who uses or wishes to use vRealize Operations should go ahead and pick up a copy as they won't regret it.

The best part of the book is it provides real world examples and ends on a positive note with the app getting developed.
