It also introduced you to the components of VMware vSphere. This sets the foundation for what you are about to learn in the subsequent chapters.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the architecture of ESXi. We will also learn how to install or deploy ESXi hosts and perform the initial configuration. We will discuss other deployment methods, such as unattended scripted installation or the deployment of stateless and stateful ESXi hosts using vSphere Auto Deploy.
