Wave of training content following the System Center 2012 SP1 launch - MVA

  • Article

If you attended any Microsoft event in 2012 that discussed System Center 2012 or Cloud, you no doubt would have seen the following graphic positioning how System Center 2012 enables the delivery of IT-as-a-Service between the Application Owner and the Data Center Administrator.

ITaaS

The key talking points were around the provisioning of infrastructure (physical or virtual), and then the operating of it on a continuous basis. These were categorized into Configure & Deploy and Monitor & Operate, and logically the Private Cloud certification that covered these areas was also named the same.

MCSE: Private Cloud

  • Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 (70-247)
  • Monitoring and Operating a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 (70-246)

With the recent release of Service Pack 1 for System Center 2012, there has been a wave of training posted on the Microsoft Virtual Academy to cover all the topics that fall under these two areas.

I have summarised all of the current webcasts below, and listed them in a logical manner to make it easier to run through from the Deployment topics to the Operations topics.
