VMware VCP Application Modernization
Course Overview
The VCP-AM (VMware Certified Professional – Application Modernization) training is designed for professionals seeking hands-on expertise in deploying and managing modern, containerized applications using VMware Tanzu and Kubernetes. This course focuses on transforming legacy apps into cloud-native workloads and managing them across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Participants will work with technologies such as Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG), vSphere with Tanzu, Tanzu Mission Control, and Tanzu Application Platform. The training also helps prepare candidates for the VCP-AM certification exam, which validates skills in Kubernetes-based infrastructure, container orchestration, and DevOps readiness.
