Who this book is for

Mastering vRealize Operations Manager aims to help you gain a deep understanding of vROps and learn how to best apply the product to every day operations management use cases. This book aims to move beyond the standard product documentation and explains both why and how vROps should be deployed, configured, and used in your own environment.

Although this book is aimed at mastering vRealize Operations Manager 6.0, expert knowledge of vROps is not a requirement. The chapters in this book range in skill level and expertise, as well as in useful theory versus practical step-by-step content. As such, we expect that this book will be useful for the following people:

• System administrators responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of a virtualized enterprise IT environment
• Infrastructure architects and engineers responsible for designing and building solutions that improve the reliability and maintainability of virtualized environments
• Current customers who want to know how to get the most out of vROps, such as what the badges actually mean, and how capacity management policies should be configured for a typical production environment
• Anyone who is keen to know more about vRealize Operations Manager for specific reference look ups, from badges to capacity planning and the new API
