Introduction

Listed below are the Hands-on Labs that will be available at VMworld 2015 US in San Francisco. The

labs are divided into four focus areas, Software Defined Datacenter Labs, Hybrid Cloud Labs, Mobility

Labs, and Partner Solution Labs. Under each lab, you will find several modules available for you to test

drive a VMware product.

Key to deciphering the Lab Module table:

# This is the Module number

Title The title of the Module

Time This is the estimated time in minutes to

complete this Module

15 or 30 Lightning Lab - Lab Modules that are 15 or

30 minutes in duration

45 or 60 Full Length Lab - Lab Modules that are 45 or

60 minutes in duration

Level

(B)eginning These Modules are designed to introduce

you to a product or solution

(A)dvanced These Modules cover more Advanced topics

Type

(F)eature Modules These are focused on the features of a single

product.

(U)se Case Modules

These are narrative Modules that

demonstrate the interaction between multiple

products in a hypothetical scenario.

Modules are independent of another and can be completed in any order

Modules with an estimated time of 15 or 30 minutes are classified as Lightning Labs.
