In this section, I present my professional experience with VMware ESXi server virtualization platform. I have used ESXi to deploy operating systems and services on different virtual machines, isolate workloads, and reduce hardware and operational costs through server consolidation. Virtualization has also allowed me to back up and export virtual machines, and improve service availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
To demonstrate my experience, I explain the configurations I have implemented, the reasons behind them, and how I have recreated the scenarios in my lab environment.
