• Design and deploy a tiered VMware vSphere® resource architecture for CPU, storage, and network resources, including VMware NSX™
• Design and deploy a certificate authority and single sign-on architecture to support the enterprise cloud architecture
• Design and deploy an authority architecture of roles for an enterprise cloud
• Design and deploy a tenant and business group architecture for an enterprise cloud
• Design and deploy standard machines and multimachine templates to support your tenant and business group architecture
• Design and deploy blueprints, services, and entitlements to support your enterprise cloud
• Design and deploy approval workflows and lifecycles to work in your enterprise cloud authority architecture
• Design and deploy build profiles and customizations
• Design and deploy VMware vRealize™ Orchestrator™ workflows to support the automation of vSphere tasks
• Understand VMware vCloud® Air™ integration and when to use cloud bursting
• Understand VMware vRealize™ Business™ cost structure design and integration with vRealize Automation
• Understand the location and identity of all log files that relate to vRealize Automation troubleshooting
