Chapter 1, Machine Learning Capabilities with vSphere 6.7, covers performance benchmarking on ML-based applications using GPUs in vSphere environment to support different customer business objectives.
Chapter 2, Proactive Measures with vSAN Advanced Analytics, explains how to improve the support experience for HCI environments, which will help customers maintain performance by rapidly resolving issues and minimizing downtime by means of proactive telemetry capabilities from vSAN Support Insight advanced analytics.
Chapter 3, Security with Workspace ONE Intelligence, describes an innovative approach to enterprise security for employees, apps, endpoints, and networks with access management, device, and app management, and for trusted analytics frameworks.
Chapter 4, Proactive Operations with VMware vRealize Suite, explains how to automate data centers and public clouds running on vSphere by injecting advanced analytics into its VMware vRealize Suite.
Chapter 5, Intent-Based Manifest with AppDefense, explains how to learn to use ML to create an intent-based manifest for an app running in a VM so as to secure the app against malicious behavior with an algorithm, which measures the run state against the intended state.
Chapter 6, ML-based Intelligent Log Management, covers how to innovative indexing and ML-based intelligent grouping in order to facilitate high-performance searching for faster troubleshooting across physical, virtual, and cloud environments by aiding fast troubleshooting through root cause analysis.
Chapter 7, Machine Learning as a Service in the Cloud, explains how to build and maintain each ML process with customization of the hardware and software and eliminate this complexity by automating the deployment of hardware resources, configuring them with the required operating system and application stack, and making them available to data scientists.
Chapter 8, ML-Based Rule Engine with Skyline, describes how to collect information from a customer and use ML as an intelligent rule engine to monitor whether anything deviates beyond normal behavior and then raise a red flag to offer proactive support.
Chapter 9, DevOps with vRealize Code Stream, looks into the highest priority processes to transform and apply techniques to compare and contrast the key differences between legacy operating models, processes, and team structures with the strategic operating model required for DevOps.
