Since my last post on the VMware Hands On Labs Public Beta becoming available, I’ve spent a few more hours taking some of the new labs and digging deeper into the catalog. The catalog consists of many labs but they have also recently added Chinese versions of some of the more popular labs.
Even though there are more labs on the way, you can see from the list below that there already is a great deal of depth to many of the core products such as vSphere and vCloud Director. Additionally I was surprised to already see coverage of nearly every product VMware offers. For example Socialcast, ZImbra, and SlideRocket all have lab modules available.
If you haven’t already I encourage you to check out the community and signup here. You can follow updates on twitter(@VMwareHOL) as well or check out the detailed catalog here which is also available in poster format here.
